"comprehensive evaluation" was classified into 3 category, "improve" "No change+Aggravated" and "Unassessable" by reference to the result of FEV1 and symptoms. The effective rate was derived from rate of "Improvement" in total number of analyzed patients

Change in Forced Expiratory Volume (L) in 1 Second at 52 WeeksPre treatment and 52 weeks after the treatment

Difference between Mean of Pre- and each week's forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) The FEV1 is the volume (Liters) exhaled during the first second of a forced expiratory maneuver started from the level of total lung capacity. FEV1 is by far the most frequently used index for assessing airway obstruction, bronchoconstriction or bronchodilatation
