Glycoprotein YKL-40 Levels in Plasma Are Associated with Fibrotic Changes on HRCT in Asbestos-Exposed Subjects
Figure 2
Correlations between YKL-40 and measures of respiratory function in asbestos-exposed subjects (). YKL-40 correlated with (a) FVC: forced vital capacity and (b) FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used because of skewed distribution of the data.
