Table 1.

Demographic data for study participants who underwent Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT). * All patients completed spirometry measures, and 21/22 cases completed lung capacity and DLCO measurements. Non-white cases identified as multiracial or “unknown” on the study questionnaire, while 9.1% of controls were Black/African American, 4.5% were Asian, and 18.2% identified as “other” or “unknown.” Non-parametric Mann–Whitney tests were performed for age, body surface area, and body mass index. Chi square tests were performed for variables including race/ethnicity and sex. Abbreviations: IQR: interquartile range, DLCO: diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide.
