  1. pred Predicted value; FVC Forced vital capacity; FEV1 Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second; PEF Peak expiratory flow; MEF75 Maximal expiratory flow at 75% of the FVC has not been exhaled; MEF50 Maximal expiratory flow at 50% of the FVC has not been exhaled; MEF25 Maximal expiratory flow at 25% of the FVC has not been exhaled; MMEF Maximal mid-expiratory flow; MVV Maximal voluntary volume
  2. *P value refereed to the comparisons of this parameter among three groups
  3. §Patients in Group A were defined as positive state in ROC analyses. P value of ROC < 0.05 indicated the potential predictive value of the variable for pulmonary cGVHD
