Change in SPPB, Strength, EQ-VAS, and Physical Activity Over 1 Year.
| Outcome | ECC cohort (n = 87) | Control cohort (n = 125) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| % SPBB improved by ≥1 point (n) | 30 (26) | 31 (39) | .84 |
| % SPPB same or better (n) | 61 (53) | 69 (86) | .23 |
| % SPPB decline by ≥1 point (n) | 39 (34) | 31 (39) | .41 |
| Mean change in SPPB score (95% CI) | −0.33 (−0.9, 0.15) | −0.22 (−0.61 to 0.17) | .72 |
| Mean change in grip strength, kg (95% CI) | −3.0 (−7.0, −3.0) | 4.0 (−2.0 to 10.0) | <.01 |
| Mean change in EQ-VAS (95% CI) | 0 (−10, 10) | 0 (−10 to 20) | .61 |
| Follow-up median HAP-MAS score (IQR) | 72 (58-80) | X | X |
| Follow-up median PASE score (IQR) | X | 63 (31-117) | X |
| % Improved physical activity (n) | 32 (28) | 30 (37) | .68 |
