Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) at baseline and 12-month follow-up using the L-PF Impacts Questionnaire.
Total score (from 0 to 100 points) and symptoms, impacts, dyspnea, cough and fatigue scores obtained in the L-PF Questionnaire at each visit L-PF Impacts Questionnaire: This questionnaire contains 44 items divided into two modules.

The Symptoms module yields three domain scores: 1) dyspnea, 2) cough and 3) fatigue as well as a total Symptoms score. Items in both modules (L-PF Impacts and L-PF Symptoms) have a five-option numeric score that ranges from 0 "Not at all" to 4 "Extremely". Total L-PF score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating a greater impairment.

Anxiety and depression scores in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Questionnaire at baseline and 12-month follow-up.
Total score (from 0 to 100 points) obtained in the HADS Questionnaire at each visit. HADS Questionnaire: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Spanish Version is a 14-item self-report screening scale for anxiety and depression in Spanish-speaking populations. HADS consists of a 7-item anxiety subscale and a 7-item depression subscale. Each item scores on a 4-point Likert scale. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 = best to 3 = worst, which means that the maximum score for each subscale is 21. To interpret the results, the total sums of each subscale are considered separately. A score of 0 to 7 on any of the subscales is generally considered to be an absence of relevant disorder, 8 to 10 indicates the presence of borderline or borderline symptoms, and a score of 11 or higher suggests a significant presence of anxiety or depression.
Time frame: at baseline and up to 12 months
