Higher score indicates better health status.

6MWT = 6-minute walk test; Beck = Beck Depression Inventory; Borg = Borg score for breathlessness; CI = confidence interval; DLCO = single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; NS = nonsignificant; ref = reference; UCSD SOBQ = University of California, San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire.
