Predicting survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using GAP score: a nationwide cohort study

Respiratory Research

Table 3 Initial physiologic and radiologic characteristics according to total GAP score

Note: Values in parentheses are percentages
GAP gender, age, and 2 lung physiology variables (FVC and DL_CO), FVC forced vital capacity, % pred percentage of the predicted value, FEV ₁ forced expiratory volume, TLC total lung capacity, DL _CO diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide, PaO ₂ arterial oxygen tension, PaCO ₂ arterial carbon dioxide tension
^athe following post hoc comparisons were significant at the p = 0.05 level; all other comparisons were non-significant: Score 1 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 2 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 3 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups and Score 4 group versus Score 5, 6 groups (FVC (%)); Score 1 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 2 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 3 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups and Score 4 group versus Score 5, 6 groups (FEV₁ (%)); Score 1 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 2 group versus Score 5, 6 groups, Score 3 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, and Score 4 group versus Score 5, 6 groups (TLC (%)); Score 1 group versus Score 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 2 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 3 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, and Score 4 versus Score 5,6 groups (DL_CO (%)); Score 1 group versus Score 3, 4, 5, 6 groups, Score 2 group versus Score 4, 5, 6 groups, and Score 3 group versus Score 5, 6 groups (Resting PaO₂); Score 1 group versus Score 4, 5 groups and Score 2 group versus Score 4, 5 groups (Resting PaCO₂)
