  2. *False discovery rate corrected P values in the entire cohort were as follows: sex, P = 0.284; smoking history, P = 0.804; CT-defined emphysema, P = 0.004; and surgical approach, P = 0.030
  3. #False discovery rate corrected P values in never-smokers were as follows: CT-defined emphysema P = 0.008; and surgical approach, P = 0.103
