Results of physiological assessments in the 101 follow-up participants expressed as percent predicted, except for FEV1/FVC and SpO2. SpO2 = oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry, FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FVC = forced vital capacity, TLC = total lung capacity, RV = residual volume, 6-MWD = 6 min walk distance, LLN = lower limit of normal, ULN = upper limit of normal. Data are stratified for men and women in order to illustrate the differences. Statistical comparisons were based on the Mann-Whitney U-test or Fisher's Exact test. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
