Data Tables
The following tables represent a summary of data obtained to develop the consensus statement and interactive session contained on this Web site and for the consensus statement published in CHEST. Included are tables explaining background information, assumptions, definitions, and grading scales used by our expert panel group in developing the consensus statement. These tables complement the consensus statement and the interactive session and are referenced in the interactive session.
You are strongly encouraged to read the consensus statement and participate in the interactive Web site to fully appreciate the information contained in these tables.
Note. The numerical references in the data tables do not match table and figure numerical references in the published consensus statement.
In order to more readily understand the data, the reader is encouraged to proceed in numerical order from Table 1 to Table 22.
