Within two days after admission for rehabilitation all patients were assessed with questionnaires, such as Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Cumulative Illness Rating scale (CIRS) and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). To measure changes during rehabilitation, functional assessments with 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) and Feeling Thermometer (FT) were performed on admission and before discharge. Exercise capacity was measured at hospital admission and discharge using the 6-min walk test (6-MWT), performed once at the beginning and once at the end of the CR program after 20 days, according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and carried out by experienced, well-instructed examiners. ./cache/cord-293964-hz5uow2b.txt ./txt/cord-293964-hz5uow2b.txt
