Pulmonary function test results of two patients without GVHD who had decreased pulmonary function after transplantation for sickle cell disease

Patient No. BaselinePost-BMT
FEV/FVC FVC (%) TLC (%) RV (%) FEV/FVC FVC (%) TLC (%) RV (%)

Patient No. BaselinePost-BMT
FEV/FVC FVC (%) TLC (%) RV (%) FEV/FVC FVC (%) TLC (%) RV (%)

BMT = bone marrow transplantation; FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV/FVC = the ratio of forced expiratory volume to FVC; RV = residual volume; GVHD = raft-versus-host-disease; TLC = total lung capacity.
