  • FVC: forced vital capacity; % pred: % predicted; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; BMI: body mass index; PA:A ratio: pulmonary artery to ascending aorta diameter ratio; GAP index: scoring system based on gender, age and two lung physiology variables (FVC and DLCO). #: n=98 patients; : BMI missing patient data n=4.
