Post hoc Dunn test pairwise comparisons of BALF microbiome and metabolome among different diseases (AATD, CF, COPD, and PF). Z-scores quantify the magnitude of difference between underlying diseases
| Pairwise comparisons | Microbiome | Metabolome | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Z-statistic | p-value | Z-statistic | p-value | |
| AATD and CF | 6.2757 | < 0.001 | − 2.5810 | 0.0296 |
| AATD and COPD | 2.5902 | 0.0288 | − 2.7741 | 0.0166 |
| AATD and PF | 0.3868 | > 0.050 | 3.3429 | 0.0025 |
| CF and COPD | − 5.0040 | < 0.001 | 0.1017 | > 0.050 |
| CF and PF | − 7.2503 | < 0.001 | − 0.6433 | > 0.050 |
| COPD and PF | − 2.8529 | 0.0130 | − 0.8660 | > 0.050 |
