Notes: aP1-value indicates demographic differences between patients with SIS=1 and with SIS=0. P2-value indicates demographic differences between patients with SIS=2 and with SIS=0. bThe continuous data were presented as medians with 25th–75th percentile-intervals.

Abbreviations: FEV1/FVC, FEV1 to FVC ratio; SIS, Systemic inflammation score.
