Numerical variables were expressed as mean ± SD; P < 0.05 shows statistical significance; R upper-intermedius: The angle of the right upper lobe bronchus and the right intermedius bronchus in the coronal plane; R middle-lower: The angle of the right middle lobe bronchus and the right lower lobe bronchus in the coronal plane; L upper-lower: The angle of the left upper lobe bronchus and the left upper lobe bronchus in the coronal plane.
