  1. SF-36 = Short Form 36; CS = component summary; SCL-90R = Symptom Checklist-90 Revised; CSQ = Coping Strategies Questionnaire; 6MWT = 6 min walking test. Scaling of all scores: 0 = worst (maximal symptoms/disability); 100 = best (no symptoms/full function); exception: 6MWD (meters), sd = standard deviation for scores and norms or the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the SMD, SMD = standardized mean difference between the scores and the norms; ES = effect size (according to Kazis), SRM = standardized mean difference (according to Liang), CI = confidence interval of the SMD/ES/SRM; p = type I error of the test that the SMD ≠ 0 (2-tailed, independent samples)
