Correlation matrix heatmap showing strength and direction of relationship between lung function tests and patient-reported outcomes. Lung function parameters were normalized to standardized residuals. 6MST = 6-minute-step test; Breathlessness NRS = “Worst” breathlessness in last 24 hours Numerical Rating Scale; Chalder fatigue = Chalder Fatigue Scale; DlCO = diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; EQ5D5L = 5-level ED-5D version; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC = forced vital capacity; GAD-7 = General Anxiety Disorder-7; GRCQ = Global Rating of Change Questionnaire; Kco = transfer coefficient for carbon monoxide; MRC = Medical Research Council dyspnea scale; Nadir SpO2 = lowest oxygen saturations as measured by pulse oximetry during exercise test; PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire-9; TSQ = Trauma Screening Questionnaire; VAS = visual analogue scale.
