Eligibility status by pulmonary function results (n=328)

Eligible (n=55)Ineligible (n=226)Declined (n=47)
FEV1=forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC=forced vital capacity; FRC=functional residual capacity; RV=residual volume; TLC=total lung capacity; Tlco=carbon monoxide transfer factor; MIP=maximum inspiratory pressure; MEP=maximum expiratory pressure; Pao2, Paco2=arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions; Sao2=arterial oxygen saturation.
Values are mean (SE).
*MIP and MEP only available from rehabilitation and baseline datasets; no screening data available.
