Results

Three participants who were not classified as having LS pre-intervention remained in the non-LS category. Among the 11 participants who had LS pre-intervention, four individuals (36.4%) showed improvement in their LS stage, while seven (63.6%) remained in their LS stage. No participant experienced worsening of their LS stage. The GLFS-25 score improved significantly post-intervention [pre-intervention: median 6.5 (interquartile range: 3.0-14.3); post-intervention: median 4.5 (2.0-9.3); p = 0.011].
