Table 3. Multiple linear regression model for diffusing capacity by exposure status and BMI, FVC.
| Independent variables | Beta coefficient (95% CI) | P value | R2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure to HD | −2.799 (−7.909 to 2.310) | 0.281 | 0.261 |
| BMI | 1.475 (0.862 to 2.087) | < 0.001 | |
| FVC% | 0.427 (0.411 to 5.656) | < 0.001 |
BMI = body mass index, FVC = forced vital capacity, CI = confidence interval, HD = humidifier disinfectant.
