LT- VLA Responsiveness and Change in Other Measures from before transplant to 3- months after transplant^†

	Pre-transplant Mean ± SD	Post-transplant Mean ± SD	Absolute change Mean ± SD	t-statistic*	% change	Effect size**
LT-VLA Mean difficulty	1.56 (± 0.62)	0.57 (± 0.49)	−0.99 ± 0.75	11.84	63%	1.60
LT-VLA % activities affected	81.5 (± 16.6)	35.7 (± 27.7)	−46.0 ± 32.1	12.83	56%	2.76
LT-VLA % activities unable to perform	27.9 (± 25.6)	8.0 (± 10.8)	−19.9 ± 28.7	6.21	71%	0.78
FVC% predicted	48.2 (± 17.0)	71.6 (± 17.1)	23.2 ± 19.8	10.49	49%	1.38
6MWD, meters	270 (± 152)	406 (± 146)	142 ± 151	6.84	50%	0.89
SF-12 Physical Function	24.2 (± 5.6)	41.0 (±12.8)	17.1 ± 13.1	11.62	69%	3.00

^†Includes only patients who have completed 3-month follow-up, n = 84

^*Absolute value of the t-statistic from paired t-tests comparing pre- and post-transplant scores for each measure

^**Effect size = (post-transplant mean – pre-transplant mean) / baseline SD(23)

FVC% predicted = Forced Vital Capacity % Predicted; 6MWD = 6-minute walk test distance; SF-12 Physical Function = Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-12 Physical Function subscale
