Percentages <3% in all groups were omitted; control columns consist of weighted data; TLVRS, patients with previous LVRS; CLVRS, matched controls; TELVR, patients with previous ELVR; CELVR, matched controls; NTM, nontuberculous mycobacteria; YLF, yeast like fungi. Significant p values are highlited in bold italic.
