| Pulmonary function | Mean ± SD | Percentage with < 80% predicted |
|---|---|---|
| FEV1% predicted (n = 123) | 90.1 ± 19.4 | 25.2% |
| FVC % predicted (n = 123) | 93.3 ± 18.1 | 19.5% |
| FEV1/FVC (n = 123) | 0.77 ± 0.09 | (Value below 0.7) 13.8% |
| DLCO % predicted (n = 111) | 79.1 ± 20.4 | 45.0% |
| DLCO/VA % predicted (n = 111) | 92.1 ± 20.4 | 27.9% |
| TLC % predicted (n = 111) | 87.8 ± 14.6 | 27.0% |
FEV1, forced vital capacity in the first second; FVC, forced vital capacity, DLco, diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide; VA, alveolar volume; TLC, total lung capacity.
