aThirteen patients refused or deferred need to participate: five patients were already participating in home-based or outpatient physical therapy, four patients had returned to work or prehospital function and deferred the need for treatment, two patients were not interested in research, and two patients did not provide a reason.

bThree patients did not complete the study: one readmitted and did not reenter study posthospital discharge; eventually, the patient required a second readmission and expired due to acute or chronic respiratory failure with history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (in-person), one patient readmitted to hospital for pneumothorax and did not reenter study (in-person), and one patient asked to be removed due to personal reasons (telehealth).
