| Characteristics | Cohort (n=11) |
|---|---|
| Gender, n (%) | |
| Male | 7 (64) |
| Age at diagnosis, median years [IQR] | 48 [31-56] |
| Smoking habits at diagnosis, n (%) | |
| Never | 2 (18) |
| Previous | 6 (55) |
| Current | 3 (27) |
| Disease severity at start of WLL with nMLT, n (%) | |
| DSS-1 | 0 (0) |
| DSS-2 | 5 (46) |
| DSS-3 | 3 (27) |
| DSS-4 | 3 (27) |
| DSS-5 | 0 (0) |
| Pulmonary function at start of WLL with nMLT | |
| FVC (%pred) | 74 [57-88], n=9 |
| DLCO (%pred) | 44 [37-49], n=9 |
DLCO %pred indicates diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide in percentage of predicted; DSS, disease severity score; IQR, interquartile range; n, number of subjects; nMLT, new modified lavage technique; WLL, whole lung lavage.
