Table 11. Additional multiple linear regression analysis to evaluate confusion between the relationship of percent predicted values of forced vital capacity (%FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second, (%FEV1) with scoring of radiographic abnormalities.

% predicted FVC % predicted FEV1
Parameter estimates (95% CI) Parameter estimates (95% CI)
SRAa -2.48 (-3.45 to -1.50) -2.92 (-3.87 to -1.97)
SRAb -2.47 (-3.43 to -1.51) -2.95 (-3.88 to -2.02
Percent change for smoking status (former vs. never)* -0.40 1.03
SRAc -2.49 (-3.46 to -1.52) -2.96 (-3.90 to-2.02
Percent change for pack-years of smoking* 0.40 1.37

CI; Confidence Interval, SRA Scoring of radiographic abnormalities, * Percent change >10% means confusion.

aAdjusted for smoking status (former vs. never), pack-years of smoking, MRC dyspnea scale, and oxygen pulse saturation.

b

Adjusted for pack-years of smoking, MRC dyspnea scale, and oxygen pulse saturation.

c

Adjusted for smoking (former vs. never), MRC dyspnea scale, and oxygen pulse saturation.
