WPAI and MRC-score. MRC = medical research council breathlessness scale (ranging 1-5). WPAI = work productivity and activity impairment in median %. Left: Activity impairment per MRC-score per country; Uganda N = 172 (1 missing MRC value), Vietnam N = 471, Kyrgyzstan N = 306, Greece N = 90, and total N = 10. Due to different population characteristics per country, data should be interpreted within the country’s context and not be used to directly compare between countries. Right: WPAI per MRC-score; Absenteeism N = 260, presenteeism N = 268, overall work impairment N = 259, activity impairment (270), total activity impairment N = 1039
