  • * Stable defined as a value less than a ±10% change for FVC and less than a ±4% point change for O2 saturation post-exercise. Values at the end of the first period were used as baseline for the second period. One-year outcomes based on ±changes of <19 and 8% for FVC and O2 saturation, respectively, comparing 12 month values with baseline.

  • Outcomes are indicated by: I=improved, S=stable and W=worse for the first 6 month period, the second 6 month period and 1 year in that order.

  • Subject unable to perform 6 min walk due to physical disability and baseline HRCT lost.

  • § Slight progression reflects a change due to a very minimal increase in disease or a technical factor of lung image when comparing 12 month scan with baseline scan.

  • FVC, forced vital capacity; HRCT, high resolution CT.
