Fig. (3) Changes of lung function and weight during rehabilitation in a matched group of patients of the Israel and German/Swiss rehabilitation program. The subjects from the German/Swiss sites were carefully matched by age, Pseudomonas state, sex, and baseline values of weight and lung function to fitting partners from the Israel site. Dotted lines connect matched subjects. Note that these are different subjects matched by chance and not the same individuals staying at both sites. Differences were assessed by Wilcoxon-Test and p values are indicated.
