My subscription to Pathoma ended, so I can't check to see if this was corrected or not. Dr. Sattar, mentions the Reid Index and it's use with chronic bronchitis. On page 89 at the bottom bullet point "1" it states "leads to increased thickness of mucus glands relative to overall bronchial wall." He mentioned this a few more times, and even said it again in the picture.
Unfortunately, there was a UWorld question which showed the bronchial wall asking how to calculate RI. I picked the option of submucosa divided by the entire wall. However, the correct answer is submucosa divided by entire wall, excluding the cartilage.
It's Q. Id: 525, if it helps. I really don't want to get another subscription to Pathoma just to see the errata list.
