Interventions

OTHERPulmonary rehabilitation exercise programme

In addition to standard medical treatment, the EGr will undergo an exercise program. The initial exercise training will be conducted in the hospital, followed by online exercise sessions via video conferencing three times a week during the first week. From the second week onwards, they will be asked to perform their exercises at home three times a week using provided exercise videos and will be monitored for one year. Compliance with the exercise regimen will be assessed through a weekly survey shared in a WhatsApp group established for the exercise group patients.
