n=230. Bold type represents statistical significance. HR: hazard ratio; RVSP: right ventricular systolic pressure; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide. #: adjusted for age, sex, pack-years, FVC % pred and presence of honeycombing; ¶: unit HRs for linear predictors.
