  1. All analyses were adjusted for age, level of care (not hospitalised vs hospitalised), sex, and days of follow-up. Ordinal and continuous variables were categorised based on predefined clinical cut-offs: mMRC ≥2 indicates a clinically significant dyspnoea. PHQ-9 ≥ 10 indicates a clinical depression; FSS ≥ 4 indicates fatigue. MoCA <26 indicates cognitive impairment. mMRC the modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale. 6MWT ratio Six-Minute Walking Test ratio. PHQ-9 the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, FSS Fatigue Severity Scale, MoCA Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.
