  1. Disease duration is calculated as time between the presentation of first symptoms and first examination in our hospital
  2. aFor patients who didn’t perform lung function testing in supine position the value obtained in sitting position was used. For one patient using 24 h invasive ventilation a value of 0 % was used in the analyses
