Comparison of evaluation moments and groups in relation to BDI, MMRC, and anxiety and depression.

N = 26	Control group (N = 13)		Intervention group (N = 13)		time	group	TxG
	Hospitalization	After one month	Hospitalization	After one month
BDI	4.1 ± 3.0	5.6 ± 2.4	2.4 ± 1.6	5.0 ± 1.4	0.008	0.39	0.15
MMRC	2.7 ± 0.9	2.0 ± 1.0	3.1 ± 0.4	2.2 ± 0.6	0.001	0.24	0.67

Depression	5.3 ± 4.4	3.3 ± 3.9	3.1 ± 3.1	2.3 ± 2.2	0.22	0.17	0.63

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. BDI, basal dyspnea index; P TxG, p value of the interaction between time and group. , comparison assessed by two-way ANOVA repeated measurements analysis.
