Exclusion Criteria
- •Expected survival \< 3 months
- •WHO performance status 3 or 4
- •Body mass index less than 19 or greater than 40
- •Hypoxia requiring long term oxygen therapy
- •Severe cardiac or pulmonary disease causing dyspnea
- •Neurologic disease which may affect respiratory muscle strength, or co\-operation with testing
