Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Within the research project the quantitative data will be collected prospective within nine months with a measurement point at the beginning (T1) and the end (T2) of an inpatient rehabilitation as well as after 6 (T3) and 12 months (T4) after the begin of the inpatient rehabiliation. Besides objective measurement methods determining physical capacity (e.g. spiroergometry, six-minute-walk test, blood gas analysis, pulmonary function test, GGT-Reha), measurements assessing mental health (e.g. Coping, SF-12, mini-DIPS, HADS-D, SSD, ITS, PHQ-D, Fatique), cognitive function (eg. MoCA, Trail Making Test), physical activity (Actigraph GT9xLink), sleep behavior (7-item Insomnia Severity Index), and ability to work (standardised, valid, and reliable questionnaires) will be applied.<br><br>The changes to the investigation procedures are based on an amendment.
