Table 3. Mean and (standard deviation) of pulmonary function test and clinical CT scores.

Ventilation Parameter Baseline 3 Months 1 Year 2 Year
PFT FEV1% Predicted 93.54 (7.42) 93.01 (9.01) 91.69 (9.95) 87.85 (10.03) p = 0.06
FVC % Predicted 101.44 (10.56) 99.89 (11.70) 99.67 (11.12) 95.39 (14.69) p = 0.09
FEF25-75% predicted 90.30 (21.93) 87.83 (26.71) 85.47 (22.67) 83.61 (20.80)
Clinical Scores Brody ATS 26.19 (13.52) 29.81 (16.10) 30.58 (14.66) 33.10 (14.36) *
Brody BS 5.84 (8.21) 5.46 (7.37) 5.93 (6.67) 7.29 (7.20)*
Brody MPS 2.90 (5.04) 3.63 (5.36)* 5.87 (7.28)* 7.03 (8.06)*

Note: Pairwise differences in the follow-up PFT measurements and clinical scores from the baseline were tested using the non-parametric Wilcoxon rank rum test. Significance at the 0.05 p-value are indicated as *. P-values are stated for p<0.1 in the table. Brody ATS = Brody air trapping score, Brody BS = Brody bronchiectasis score, and Brody MPS = Brody mucus plugging score. We used all subjects (N = 36) from both Site 1 and Site 2 in this study.
