Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional capacity, physical function, physical role difficulties, emotional role difficulties, pain and general health | 1 year | Functional capacity was affected more in the group whose symptoms persisted than in the group whose symptoms did not persist (p\<0.05). Some of the SF-36 sub-parameters (physical function, physical role difficulties, emotional role difficulties, pain and general health) were found to be sig-nificantly more affected in participants with persistent symptoms (p\<0.05). |
