The National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) has published many articles reporting the various outcomes of lung volume reduction surgery versus medical treatment for patients with severe emphysema. However, long and complex clinical trials like NETT that involve both medical and surgical issues generate multiple manuscripts over a period of years and report an array of various outcomes. As a result, the essential findings of the trial may appear to be fragmented to the clinician or clinical researcher or be lost among the many medical reports published each year. In this review, we summarize in one publication the major medical and surgical outcomes of NETT.
国家肺气肿治疗试验(NETT)发表了许多文章,报告了肺减容手术与药物治疗对重度肺气肿患者的各种结果。然而,像NETT这样涉及医学和外科问题的长期复杂临床试验,在数年时间里会产生多篇手稿,并报告一系列不同的结果。因此,该试验的重要发现对于临床医生或临床研究人员来说可能显得支离破碎,或者在每年发表的众多医学报告中被遗漏。在这篇综述中,我们在一篇文章中总结了NETT的主要医学和外科结果。
