FVC forced vital capacity, FEV1 forced expiratory volume in one second, DLCO diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, SpO2 oxygen saturation assessed by pulse oximetry, CRP C-reactive protein, b y intercept of a line, CI confidence interval. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked in bold.
