  1. Comparison of patient characteristics after propensity score matching of patients with and without bronchiectasis in the context of lung cancer, using standardized differences. PRE bronchiectasis: bronchiectasis diagnosed at the time of lung cancer diagnosis; PRE controls: no bronchiectasis diagnosed at the time of lung cancer diagnosis; POST bronchiectasis: bronchiectasis diagnosed after lung cancer diagnosis; POST controls: no bronchiectasis diagnosed after lung cancer diagnosis. Age and sex are reported as mean ± standard deviation; categorical variables are presented as absolute and relative frequencies.
  2. Abbreviations: Charlson Comorbidity Index, CCI; standardized difference, stdiff; standard deviation, SD; Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV; Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS.
