CI, confidence interval; SE, standard error; uM, microMolar.

Values are from multivariate regression models predicting clinical outcomes of interest, using a combination of biomarkers as predictors while adjusting for the following covariates: age, sex, baseline FVC %pred, baseline DLCO %pred, and geographical region.

P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001 of multivariate regressions.
