Proportion of subjects in each group with spirometry and multiple breath wash-out measures below −1.64 z-scores

BPD
n = 26
Preterm
n = 23
Asthma
n = 23
Healthy controls
n = 24
FEV1 z-scores 5 (19)* 0 0 0
FVC z-scores 0 1 (4.3) 0 0
FEV1/FVC z-scores 7 (27)** 1 (4.3) 1 (4.3) 0
LCI z-scores 8 (32)*** 2 (8.7) 4 (17) 1 (4.6)

BPD-, preterm- and asthma-groups were compared to healthy controls. Data are presented as numbers (%). FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC: post bronchodilator measures. *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001. Abbreviations: BPD bronchopulmonary dysplasia, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FVC forced vital capacity, LCI lung clearance index
