PD15, 15th percentile lung density; LS mean, least squares mean; NS, not significant.aResults based on estimates for placebo group only. bRatio of absolute value of mean change divided by standard error. cRatio of outcome measure as compared to PD15 (whole lung). dRatio of outcome measure as compared to PD15 (basal region).
