Correlation of the change in SUVmax and TLuG with the change in lung function parameters, n = 27

Correlation tested R (p value)	ΔSUVmax	ΔTLuG
ΔFVC	− 0.497 (p = 0.008)	− 0.430 (p = 0.025)
ΔFEV1	− 0.467 (p = 0.014)	− 0.532 (p = 0.004)
ΔDLCOc	− 0.391 (p = 0.059)	− 0.423 (p = 0.039)

Δ change before and after infliximab therapy, FVC forced vital capacity, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in 1 s, DLCOc diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide corrected for haemoglobin, SUVmax maximum standardized uptake value, TLuG total lung glycolysis
