Table 4

Logistic regression analysis for the predictive value of pulmonary function parameters.

ParametersOR95% CI value

TLC (%)0.9110.817–1.0170.096
FEV1/FVC (%)1.0440.950–1.1470.371
DLCO (%)4.8131.039–22.3000.045

OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval. Bold values are statistically significant (). FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide.
