Fig. 3From: One-minute sit-to-stand test is practical to assess and follow the muscle weakness in cystic fibrosisComparison between the clinical characteristics before and after IV antibiotic treatment regarding to the localization (home versus hospital). A Relative change of the 1STST expressed as a product of the bodyweight, before and after IV antibiotic treatment at home and in hospital. B Relative change of the MVCQ expressed in Newton-meter, before and after IV antibiotic treatment at home and in hospital. C Average of steps per day at the beginning of the antibiotic treatment in CF patients treated at home or in hospital. D Relative change of the FEV1 expressed in liter, before and after IV antibiotic treatment at home and in hospital. E Relative change of the FEV1 expressed in percentage of the predicted values, before and after IV antibiotic treatment at home and in hospital. F Relative change of the BMI expressed in body mass divided by the square of body height, before and after IV antibiotic treatment at home and in hospital. P-values were determined by Mann–Whitney (A, D, E, F) test or unpaired T-test (B, C). Bars indicate means and standard deviation (B, C) data or median and interquartile ranges (A, D, E, F). N = 30. *, p ≤ 0.05; **, p ≤ 0.01; ***, p ≤ 0.001; ****, p ≤ 0.0001.
