Figure 3.

(A) Pulmonary diffusing capacity, DlCO (ml/min/mm Hg), versus alveolar volume, Va (ml). Individual data for subjects with chronic lung disease of infancy (CLDI) (solid circles) and control subjects (open squares) are presented, as well as the linear regressions for each group. DlCO was significantly lower for subjects with CLDI compared with control subjects when adjusted for alveolar volume by analysis of covariance (P = 0.0004). (B) Ratio of pulmonary diffusing capacity to alveolar volume, DlCO/Va (ml/min/mm Hg/ml), was not related to body length. Individual data for subjects with CLDI (solid circles) and control subjects (open squares) are presented, as well as the average data for each group. DlCO/Va was significantly lower for subjects with CLDI compared with control subjects (P = 0.0004).
