  • Responder rates at 6 and 12 months after bilateral lung volume reduction coil treatment using minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), residual volume (RV), 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score (SGRQ). Results are given as percentage of responders to total patients.
