This has 4 predictors - age, recent respiratory hospitalization, baseline forced vital capacity or FVC and 24-week change in FVC
After calculating the score of each factor, the calculation of their sum gives the total score
Doctors and scientists are continuing to enhance the GAP index using a multidimensional model and staging scheme for risk prediction
Furthermore, the variables are gender, age, and two lung physiology variables

Treatments
