Table 3 Purposively sampled t3 qualitative interviews (intervention arm) and their Impact Categorisation Levels
Change in patient NRS distress due to breathlessnessa(primary outcome) 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) |
533: NRS distress reduced from 8-1 (Level 2) | 530: NRS distress reduced from 10-8 (Level 1) |
564: NRS distress reduced from 7-1 (Level 1) | 591: NRS distress: reduced from 10-8 (Level 1) |
583: NRS distress reduced from 9-3 (Level 1) | 624: NRS distress reduced from 10-8 (Level 2) |
648: NRS distress reduced from 7-1 (Level 1) | 536: NRS distress reduced from 5-3 (Level 1) |
603: NRS distress reduced from 5-0 (Level 1) | 630: NRS distress unchanged 4-4 (Level 2) |
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) |
563: NRS distress increased from 4-9 (Level 2) | 501: NRS distress reduced from 4-1 (Level 1) |
578: NRS distress increased from 3-7 (Level 2) | 637: NRS distress reduced from 3-0 (Level 3) |
569: NRS distress increased from 5-7 (Level 1) | 616: NRS distress reduced from 3-1 (Level 1) |
612: NRS distress increased from 5-7 (Level 1) | 658: NRS distress reduced from 8-4 (Level 2) |
559: NRS distress increased from 5-6 (Level 2) | 587: NRS distress reduced from 9-5 (Level 1) |
