  1. Italic values: P < 0.05 was significant. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square test. Continuous variables were compared using analysis of variance
  2. ASA score American Society of Anesthesiologists score, BMI body mass index, DLCO predicted carbon monoxide diffusing capacity as a percent of predicted, FEV1 predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s as a percent of predicted, s.d standard deviation
