Pulmonary Function
Spirometry and DLCO were measured according to performance standards based on the statements from the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). Values of DLCO were adjusted for the patient's current hemoglobin value, and the patients were asked to withhold cigarette smoking at least four hours before pulmonary function testing. Lung volumes and DLCO were measured with a commercial ZAN300 CO Diffusion system (nSpire Health GmbH, Oberthulba, Germany)
