Outcome	Unadjusted β (95% CI)	value	Adjusted β (95% CI)	value
Change in BODE index.	0.68 (0.04, 1.30)	0.04	0.70 (0.15, 1.26)	0.01
Change in 6MWT (m)	−15.02 (−44.21, 14.16)	0.31	−9.69 (−39.51, 20.14)	0.52
Change in FEV1 (%)	−2.31 (−6.03, 1.41)	0.22	−2.31 (−5.69, 1.08)	0.18
	Unadjusted OR (95% CI)		Adjusted OR (95% CI)
Change in mMRC scale	0.95 (0.40, 2.24)	0.91	1.21 (0.17, 8.13)	0.84

CI, confidence interval; BODE, body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity; 6MWT, 6-minute walk test; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second; OR, odds ratio. Variables adjusted for include age, gender, smoking status, history of smoking, the interaction between current smoking status and history of smoking, vaccination history, COPD treatment regimen, BMI, pCO₂ retainer status, home o₂ therapy status, use of walking aids, and the respective baseline values for each outcome.
