Figure 1 Percent predicted FEV1 and Dlco in LAM patients without a history of pneumothorax (white columns), patients who had prior pneumothorax (crosshatched columns), and patients who presented with pneumothorax (black columns). Patients presenting with a pneumothorax had significantly lower FEV1 (*= p < 0.01 by ANOVA) than patients who never had experienced a pneumothorax.
