2.7 Data analysis
All network meta-analyses and standard meta-analyses were performed
using the STATA (16.0 version). Continuous variables were expressed as
weighted MD (WMD) or mean difference (MD), and 95% confidence intervals
(95% CI) were calculated. The adjusted indirect comparisons were
performed with MD and 95% CI to assess the indirect comparisons
different types of exercise PR on childhood asthma quality of life, lung
function and exercise capacity. We conducted a subgroup analysis of FEV1
and FEF25-75% based on different interventions to reduce heterogeneity
and address potential confounding.
