Table 2 Average annual rate of changes in lung function.

From: Impact of body weight change on clinical outcomes in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis receiving pirfenidone

 

Average annual rate of change

95% CI

FVC (mL/year)

− 102

− 116, − 87

FVC (% of predicted/year)

− 2.2

− 2.7, − 1.6

DLCO (mL/mmHg/min/year)

− 0.9

− 1.0, − 0.8

DLCO (% of predicted/year)

− 3.9

− 4.5, − 3.2

  1. CI confidence interval, FVC forced vital capacity, DLCO diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide.
