Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fat attenuation index

    The fat attenuation index will be used to assess the therapeutic efficacy. A normal fat attenuation index is defined as \< 240 db/m, mild is 240-264 db/m, moderate is 265-294 db/m, and severity is \> 295 db/m.We will detect the fat attenuation index at 6 months following treatment. Effective: fat attenuation index is reduced by a level or more (example: moderate to mild). Invalid: fails to meet the effective standard.

    at 6 months following therapy

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Serum triglyceride

    at 6 months following therapy

  • Serum cholesterol

    at 6 months following therapy

  • Serum lipoproteins

    at 6 months following therapy

  • Hydrogen/methane breath testing

    at 6 months following therapy

  • Quality of life

    at 6 months following therapy
