Table 6 Purposively sampled t3 qualitative interviews with patients with non-malignant conditions (intervention arm) and their Impact Categorisation Levels
Change in NRS distress due to breathlessnessa (primary outcome measure) from t1 to t3 (and Impact Categorisation Level) | |
|---|---|
Cell 1: Biggest Improvers (from high baseline scores) | Cell 2: Limited Improvers (high baseline score Cell 1 matches who improved the least) |
 068: NRS distress reduced from 8-2 (Level 1) |  002: NRS distress unchanged at 8-8 (Level 2) |
 012: NRS distress reduced from 9-3 (Level 1) |  038: NRS distress reduced from 8-6 (Level 1) |
 137: NRS distress reduced from 10-3 (Level 1) |  059: NRS distress reduced from 10-7 (Level 2) |
 140: NRS distress reduced from 10-2 (Level 1) |  103: NRS distress reduced from 10-9 (Level 1) |
 100: NRS distress reduced from 8-0 (Level 1) |  109: NRS distress reduced from 9-7 (Level 3) |
Cell 3: Worseners (who turned out to have a low-middling baseline scores) | Cell 4: Moderate Improvers (closest baseline score Cell 3 matches who improved the most) |
 072: NRS distress increased from 5-8 (Level 1) |  015: NRS distress reduced from 5-2 (Level 3) |
 084: NRS distress increased from 6-9 (Level 2) |  036: NRS distress reduced from 5-0 (Level 2) |
 126: NRS distress increased from 5-7 (Level 1) |  042: NRS distress reduced from 6-2 (Level 1) |
 158: NRS distress increased from 1-3 (Level 1) |  161: NRS distress reduced from 5-0 (Level 2) |
 027: NRS distress increased from 3-4 (Level 2) |  108: NRS distress reduced from 6-1 (Level 3) |
