  • CALIPER: Computer-Aided Lung Informatics for Pathology, Evaluation and Ratings; HR: hazard ratio; TLC: total lung capacity; % pred; % predicted; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 second; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; ILD: interstitial lung disease (ground glass (GG) + reticular + honeycombing); Ref: reference.#: HRs are for a 15-unit change in DLCO % pred and a 10-unit change in FEV1 % pred, FVC % pred and TLC % pred; : HRs are for a sd change.
