  • Data are presented as hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals and p-values from two multiple regression models with outcome post-chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) survival. non-R/AT-CLAD: neither R- nor AT-CLAD; CF: cystic fibrosis; COPD: chronic obstructive lung disease; ILD: interstitial lung disease; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s. Bold type indicates significant values.
