In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, higher risk of mortality and lung transplant is linked to small decreases in FVC% predicted and DLCO% predicted.

Research shows results from a presurgical 6-minute walk test may predict cardiopulmonary risk after uniportal video-assisted ...

“Diabetes is known to reduce lung in force vital capacity, lung compliance, peripheral airway function, and pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. This implies that the volume of the ...

Background—Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dlco), alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) are all significantly reduced after ...

High serum type I interferon (IFN) scores, measured through six chemokines, correlated with poorer lung function and ... forced vital capacity (FVC), diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide ...
