- Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean). Mann-Whitney U test; P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. NS, not significant. p1: P value between IPF and CTD-IPs, p2: P value between IPF and sarcoidosis, p3: P value between IPF and control, p4: P value between CTD-IP and sarcoidosis, p5: P value between CTD-IP and control, p6: P value between sarcoidosis and control.
