Notes: Statistics per fissure and fissure completeness score regarding the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value. Number of Chartis needed*: Number of Chartis measurements needed to identify one additional patient with collateral ventilation while applying this FCS.

Abbreviations: FCS, fissure completeness score; CVpos, presence of collateral ventilation; CVneg, absence of collateral ventilation; sens, sensitivity; spec, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
