Lung function and BMI z-scores across time in PCD lobectomised patients (n = 18), before and after lung resection and propensity score matched controls (n = 18). The left panel displays the trend of lung function and BMI z-scores across time in 18 lobectomised PCD patients with available data before and after lung resection. The dashed red line represents the average trend for all 18 patients. The dashed black line denotes the zero z-score level. The overall mean pre-resection lung function z-scores were significantly higher compared to post-resection lung function z-scores (FEV1: − 1.77 Vs − 2.69 p-value < 0.001, FVC: − 1.16 Vs − 1.99 p-value: 0.003). BMI z-scores did not differ significantly (0.33Vs 0.22 p-value: 0.669). The right panel displays the trend of lung function and BMI z-scores across time in 18 propensity score matched controls
