  1. Values are presented as median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and as percentages for categorical variables. Analysis parameters with statistically significant differences are shown in bold
  2. *Body mass index is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2)
  3. †In the total population, spirometry was performed in a subset of patients to assess FVC (n = 207) and DLCO (n = 201). Median (interquartile range) values are presented for each group
  4. ‡In the total population, echocardiography was performed on a subset of patients to assess LVEF (n = 192). Median (interquartile range) values are presented for each group
  5. §In the total population, Agatston calcium scores were available for a subset of patients (n = 189), with median (interquartile range) values presented for each group
  6. CAD = coronary artery disease; DLco = diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; ECG = electrocardiogram; FVC = forced vital capacity; LV = left ventricle; ILD = interstitial lung disease; IPF = idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; TWI = T-wave inversion
