Sentence examples for diffusion impairment from inspiring English sources
In addition, data regarding restrictive ventilatory defect (decreased forced vital capacity, or FVC) and diffusion impairment (decreased diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, DLCO) and how the diagnosis of IPF/UIP (biopsy or CT scan) was made were obtained from chart abstraction on the patients with IPF/UIP.
