Data are presented as mean±sem (ANCOVA with baseline as covariate). Analyses at 3 months are based on 16 subjects in the no-endoscopic lung volume reduction (no-ELVR) group and 20 subjects in the ELVR group, and at 6 months on 17 subjects in the no-ELVR group and 20 subjects in the ELVR group. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; RV: residual volume; FRC: functional residual capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; 6MWD: 6-min walk distance; SGRQ: St George's Respiratory Questionnaire; BODE: body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity; mMRC: modified Medical Research Council.
