Asthma patients are enrolled in multimodal pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs. However, available data for the effectiveness of PR in asthma are sparse. Therefore, the primary aim of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to evaluate short-term (end of rehabilitation) and intermediate-term ...
To facilitate interpretability, these pooled SMDs were converted to the most familiar scale, which was the ACQ-7 (see eFigures 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the Supplement for asthma worsening [defined as a progressive increase in ≥1 asthma symptoms or a decline in lung function for ≥2 ...
