From: Early rehabilitation relieves diaphragm dysfunction induced by prolonged mechanical ventilation: a randomised control study

  DE (cm) DTF
Rehabilitation group (n = 39) 1.43 ± 0.47 0.17 ± 0.05
Control group (n = 41) 1.41 ± 0.59 0.14 ± 0.07
t 0.189 1.740
Difference 0.022 0.023
95%CI for difference  − 0.215 to 0.260  − 0.003 to 0.051
p-value 0.851 0.086
  1. Differences between different groups were calculated by independent samples t test. CI, confidence interval; DE, diaphragmatic excursion; DTF, diaphragm thickening fraction
