  1. Note. Effects of covariates are only noted when they were found to be significant.
  2. Full Model controlled for age, gender, % predicted FVC, GERD status, UACS status, smoking status (yes/no), sleep apnea (yes/no), IPF vs. related diagnosis, and ACE inhibitor (yes/no) (Nā€‰=ā€‰58 due to missing data for the secondary predictors). Only significant predictors are listed.
  3. Parsimonious Model controlled only for significant predictors in the full model: age, gender and ACE inhibitor (yes/no) (Nā€‰=ā€‰67).
