  1. Results are presented as percentages. Coefficients of variation were calculated per disease group (based on mean lung RTL values) and per lung (based on core RTL values)
  2. RTL relative telomere length, CV coefficient of variation, CF cystic fibrosis, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cHP chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, BOS bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, RAS restrictive allograft syndrome
