Predictors of mortality (Univariate analysis)

Variables 6MWD FEV1/FVC FEV1% FVC%
Status ALIVE DEAD ALIVE DEAD ALIVE DECEASED ALIVE DEAD
Sample size 72 38 72 38 72 38 72 38
Lowest value 136 48 33 43 23 18 27 23
Highest value 585 382.7 106 122 138 111 130 116
Median 335 191.625 69 76 60.5 59.9 70 62.75
95% CI for the median 303.0000 to 361.9225 156.4968 to 224.5032 62.0000 to 76.7880 71.4968 to 89.0000 52.6360 to 68.0000 51.4968 to 71.5161 61.2120 to 76.1521 54.9936 to 71.0064
Interquartile range 261.3750 to 400.0000 150.0000 to 281.0000 54.0000 to 82.0000 68.0000 to 91.0000 39.5000 to 77.0000 47.0000 to 91.0000 57.0000 to 83.0000 52.0000 to 74.0000
p-value < 0.0001 0.0098 0.6713 p = 0.1131

From this table, we can note that 6MWD, FEV1/FVC significantly predict mortality (p<0.05). Test applied was Mann-Whitney test and p-value was calculated by two tailed probability.
