Fig. 4From: Mediastinal lymph node enlargement in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: relationships with disease progression and pulmonary function trendsPredicted annual change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Diffusion Capacity of CO (DLco) for patients with different grade of involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes on baseline CT scan. LNE- = without mediastinal lymph node enlargement; LNE 1–2 = with 1 or 2 enlarged lymph nodes; LNE ≥ 3 = with 3 or more enlarged lymph nodes. Data are predicted mean values with standard error bars.
