## Objective: To determine the long-term outcome of patients with systemic sclerosis (ssc) and an isolated reduction in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (dlco) at the time of initial evaluation. ## Methods: Patients with an isolated reduction in dlco (i.e., normal forced vital capacity
The diffusing capacity, when normalized per liter of alveolar volume (D,C&,) decreases in normal adults, whereas their total diffusing capacity (DL,cO) increases as alveolar volume (VA) increases. We studied these relationships in a group of normal children below 20 years of age. Diffusion variables
