Table 4. Benefits after rehabilitation (rehabilitation sample, n = 74).
Parameter | Pre rehabilitation | Post rehabilitation | ∆ | p-value$ |
---|---|---|---|---|
Steps (n.day-1) | 3839 ± 2262 | 4644 ± 3003 | 805 ± 2193 | 0.002 |
6MWD (m) | 409 ± 120 | 459 ± 114 | 48 ± 76 | <0.001 |
CRDQdyspnea | 15 ± 5 | 22 ± 6 | 7 ± 5 | <0.001 |
CRDQtotal | 77 ± 14 | 97 ± 15 | 19 ± 13 | <0.001 |
Data expressed as mean ± SD; CRDQdyspnea baseline was missing in 5 patients, 6MWD at 3 months was missing in 3 patients, CRDQdyspnea at 3 months was missing in 10 patients; CRDQtotal score reported based on 50 patients; ∆steps data present unadjusted data (adjusted ∆805±2144 steps.day-1).
