Change of Functional status and QoL score.
| Control group (n = 37) | Exercise group (n = 35) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPET (mL/kg/min) | −3.2(0.3) | −1.2(0.2) | .043 |
| 6MWT (m) | −83.1(9.2) | −48.6(6.0) | .029 |
| FVC (mL) | −577.7(136.2) | −378.3(111.6) | .034 |
| FEV1 (mL) | −389.5(89.4) | −318.8(114.3) | .213 |
| SS of QLQ-C30 (V3.0) | −8.4(1.6) | −7.0(2.1) | .464 |
| Daily walking step record | −2857(289) | −-1888(313) | .002 |
6MWT = 6-minute walk test, CPET = cardiopulmonary exercise test, FEV1 = forced expiration volume in the first second in the pulmonary function test, FVC = forced vital capacity in pulmonary function test, QLQ = quality of life questionnaire from European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer, QoL = quality of life, SS = standard score.
Negative values indicate a decline in patients’ functional assessment data and quality of life from preoperative to postoperative and intervention periods.
