Table 2.
Comparison of increases in pulmonary function (relative to baseline) between the two groups.
| Group | FEV1 | FVC | FEV1/FVC | FEV1% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YHWLP (n = 40) | 0.39 ± 0.15∗∗ | 0.39 ± 0.28∗ | 6.35 ± 2.74∗∗∗ | 6.11 ± 3.49∗ |
| Control (n = 40) | 0.04 ± 0.01 | 0.21 ± 0.11 | 1.56 ± 0.52 | 4.72 ± 5.10 |
Notes: FEV1, forced expiratory volume in the first second; FVC, forced vital capacity; FEV1%, FEV1 as a percentage of predicted value. Values are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
