MX1, myxovirus resistance protein-1; Ab, autoantibody; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; GAP stage, gender, age, and physiology stage; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; Ig, immunoglobulin. Prognostic significance of each anti-MX1 autoantibodies, definite titer, or positivity more than cutoff values, was evaluated by univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis and HR adjusted by GAP stage was also shown.
