. Estimates are derived from analysis of covariance models, and represent the marginal mean K-BILD total or domain score at the mean value for each adjustment covariate (age, gender, FVC and DLCO). Presented as adjusted mean (95% CI).
*Remains significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni-Holm method (nominal p value 0.003 is less than the critical Bonferroni-Holm value of 0.0125).
DLCO, diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide; FVC, forced vital capacity; ILD, interstitial lung disease; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; K-BILD, Kings Brief Interstitial Lung Disease; SSc, systemic sclerosis.
