Table 5. Multivariate logistic regression analysis for %DLCO <80%.
Variables | Odds Ratio | 95% CI | P value |
---|---|---|---|
%LAA | 1.111 | 1.031–1.199 | 0.006 |
%HAA | 1.614 | 1.202–2.169 | 0.002 |
Multivariate logistic regression analysis for %DLCO <80% was performed. The multivariate models simultaneously included %LAA and %HAA. Both %low attenuation area (%LAA) and %high attenuation area (%HAA) were significant indicators of impaired diffusion capacity (OR = 1.111, P = 0.006; OR = 1.614, P = 0.002, respectively).
%DLCO, diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide measured as percent predicted; CI, confidence interval
