Efficacy at 6 months for all LVR coil treatments (n=58, overall group) and at 6 and 12 months (n=34, 12-month follow-up group columns). Results are given as change from baseline. Data are shown as mean±SD.

Data in parentheses are the numbers of actual measurements available per variable tested followed by the actual p value.

6MWD, 6-min walking distance; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; mMRC, modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea score; RV, residual volume; SGRQ, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score; TLC, total lung capacity.
