FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEF25–75%: forced expiratory volume at 25–75% of FVC; TLC: total lung capacity; RV: residual volume; DL,CO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; MBNW: multiple breath nitrogen washout; LCI: lung clearance index; Scond: index of conductive airways heterogeneity; Sacin: index of diffusive airways heterogeneity; FOT: forced oscillation technique; Rrs: respiratory system resistance; Xrs: respiratory system reactance; eNO: exhaled nitric oxide. #: independent predictors of time post transplant in multiple regression model including significant parameters (in italics) from univariate analyses; ¶: insignificant after removing the two patients with longest time post-transplant; +: insignificant after removing the two patients with highest measured values; §: after correction for age and smoking history (confounding factors), the correlation was still highly significant (r=0.55, p=0.001); ƒ: Sacin corrected for confounding factors was used in the multiple regression model. Italics indicates significant univariate correlations after correction for multiple comparisons.
