a

Alive between 6 and 12M (Yes=1, 0=No, ICAP: 1, n=95, 96%; 0, n=4, 4%; ALTOS:1, n=129, 96%; 0, n=5, 4%);

b

No Hospitalization between 6 and 12M (Yes=1, 0=No, ICAP: 1, n=59, 73%; 0, n=22, 27%; ALTOS: 1, n=98, 78%; 0, n=27, 22%);

c

Alive at home outcome for 12m (Yes=1, 0=No; ICAP: 1, n=88, 94%, 0, n=6, 6%; ALTOS: 1, n=120, 90%; 0, n=13, 10%);

d

FEV1 at 6M for ICAP has missing values imputed using 3M values; No imputation of FEV1 values were performed for ALTOS.

e

Model fit is based on pseudo R2 for alive at home and R2 for SF-36 PCS and EQ5D Utility.

0.11 m/sec is an estimated MCID for the 4-m gait speed test based on prior study among COPD patients (Reference: Kon et al. Eur Respir J. 2014;43(5):129881305);

0.20 is an estimated MCID for the Functional Performance Inventory. There was no evidence of multi-collinearity (Variance inflation factor ≤ 1.59 for independent variables estimated within each models)
