Percentage of subjects with a percent of predicted (compared to Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) predicted values based on age, sex, height and ethnicity) below normal for forced expiratory volume (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC), which are measures used to determine the volume of air that can be exhaled in one breath.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 365 ± 90 days

Determine the proportion of patients with reduce neurocognitive function. Neurocognitive testing included completion of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Anxiety, PROMIS Depression, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Katz Index of Independence In Activities of Daily Living (Katz-ADL), EuroQOL (EQ)-5D-5L and Neuro- Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires. Reduced neurocognitive function was determined if scoring from at least one of these tests was deemed a variation from population norm per scoring instructions.
