Fig. 4From: Efficacy and safety of long-term use of a positive expiratory pressure device in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, a randomized controlled trialSecondary outcomes. A Showed the SpO2 at the beginning of the 6MWT at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). B Showed the minimal SpO2 during the 6MWT at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). C Showed the SpO2 at the end of the 6MWT at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). D Showed the FEV1/FVC at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). E Showed the MVV at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). F Showed the mMRC score at baseline (T0) and two months later (T1) in the intervention group (solid circles) or control group (solid squares). T0 refers to the time when subjects were enrolled. T1 refers to the time when subjects were followed up at 2 months after enrollment. (*: P < 0.05; **: P < 0.001)Back to article page
