- Brief Summary
At the follow-up assessment, the AQLQ scores, mOCS doses, and exacerbation frequency were improved, while %FEV1 did not change. Next, we grouped the patients into two according to their BMI levels. At 12 months after the procedure, the AQLQ scores were significantly improved in patients with overweight/obesity. In MANOVA, the degree of slopes significantly differed between the lines of overweight/obesity and normal weight in terms of the AQLQ scores (P = 0.01).
