Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pyschological and somatic symptomsChange from baseline SCL-90 questionnaire at 1 week

Measured with SCL-90 questionnaire. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 360. Higher scores mean worse outcome

Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)Change from baseline NLR at 1 week

Measured by calculating the value of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes based on blood sampling

Heart Rate VariabilityChange from baseline SDNN at 1 week

Measured by assessing SDNN by using Photoplethysmograph SA-3000P
