Spirometry results pre and 5 years after lung transplantation. A, FEV1 (liter). B, FVC (liter). C, TLC (liter). D, DLCO (mmol/min/kPa). Five-year posttransplant spirometry results (FEV1, FVC, TLC, and DLCO) were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. No significant differences in spirometry results for the propensity-matched cohorts of donors <70 years versus donors ≥70 years. DLCO indicates diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; FVC, forced vital capacity; TLC, total lung capacity.
