Evaluating the Effects of Heat-Clearing Traditional Chinese Medicine in Stable Bronchiectasis by a Series of N-of-1 Trials

Table 1

Clinical criteria for definite N-of-1 trial.

1.	Clinicians have high confidence in the decisions made after the N-of-1 trials (1 or 2 on a 7-point scale)
2.	N-of-l trial interruption before completing three treatment pairs because of the clinician’s belief that drug effectiveness had been established or refuted (perceived large treatment effect or severe side effects, both confirmed after breaking the code, or low frequency of treatment end-points)
