Relationships between the z‐scores of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DL_NO) (y‐axis) and standard (9–11 sec breath‐hold time) lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL_CO) (x‐axis) in healthy controls (asterisks) and SSc subjects. Symbols indicate subjects with spirometry and total lung capacity (TLC) > LLN₅ (white), DL_CO < LLN₅ (light grey), and TLC < LLN₅ (dark grey). Triangles indicate subjects with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPap) > 36 mmHg. The dashed lines indicate the LLN₅ (z‐score < −1.645). The absolute values indicate the number of the total 96 test results for DL_NO that fall into each quadrant (Q1–Q4).
