Values are mean±SD. HSCT: haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; FVC: forced vital capacity; % pred: % predicted; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; TLC: total lung capacity; FRC: functional residual capacity; RV: residual volume; sGaw: specific airway conductance; DL,CO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; Hb: haemoglobin. #: n = 6; ¶: n = 6; +: p = 0.053; §: p = 0.016 (all versus baseline).
