Pulmonary function test of pre- and post-SBRT

Pre-SBRT Post-SBRT Δ P value
FVC (L) 2.1 (0.4–3.7) 2.1 (1.6–2.7) −0.1 (−1.1–1.2) 0.92
VC (L) 2.3 (1.1–2.9) 2.2 (1.3–2.7) −0.1 (−0.3–0.5) 0.22
%VC (%) 83 (49–106) 80 (63–104) −3.1 (−25–22) 0.32
FEV1 (L) 1.3 (0.4–2.1) 1.3 (0.6–2.0) −0.1 (−0.8–0.8) 0.56
%FEV1 (%) 74 (24–119) 73 (26–115) −1.2 (−55–55) 0.87

All data given as mean (range) without P value. SBRT = stereotactic body radiotherapy, Δ = post-treatment value minus pre-treatment value, FVC = forced vital capacity, VC = vital capacity, %VC = percent predicted vital capacity, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second, %FEV1 = percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second. P value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
