Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Forced expiratory volume in the first minute | 6 months after intervention | Pulmonary function tests that are done with a spirometry to measure forced expiratory volume |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6 minute walking test | 6 months after intervention | 6 minute walking test is a field test that measures the distance a patient walks during a 6 minute period. |
| St. George's Quality of Life Score | 6 months after intervention | Scores are calculated for three domains: Symptoms, Activity and Impacts (Psycho-social) as well as a total score. Psychometric testing has demonstrated its repeatability, reliability and validity. Sensitivity has been demonstrated in clinical trials. A minimum change in score of 4 units was established as clinically relevant after patient and clinician testing. This score has been used in a range of disease groups including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis, and in a range of settings such as randomised controlled therapy trials and population surveys. |
