  1. This table shows the frequencies of progression stages. Progression was classified as significant (FVC decline > 10%) or moderate progression (FVC decline 5–10%), stable (FVC decline or increase < 5%) and improvement (FVC increase ≥ 5%). At baseline, 5.5% of patients had a visit before reference and 1.2% no given reference. These patients were excluded from the further analyses. The follow-ups took place every 6 months.
