  1. Data are presented as frequencies, hazard ratios (Cox regression analyses) or change pr. year (linear mixed effects models) with 95% confidence intervals. Median follow-up time was 1.8 years. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were adjusted for ILD-GAP index and pack years. Δ: Change per year; FVC: Forced vital capacity; DLCO: diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; 6MWD: 6-min walk test distance; Ref.: Reference group
