Significant improvements in lung function and exercise capacity were observed in pediatric participants undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.
Lung function improved notably with FEV1 rising from 62.2% to 68.4% and FVC increasing from 72.6% to 79.2%, both with p-values below 0.005.
Retrospective analysis of a multidisciplinary program included 43 children over a duration of approximately 68 days.
The findings underscore the safety and effectiveness of pediatric pulmonary rehabilitation, calling for larger studies on community-based approaches.
