Summary

The purpose of this research is to objectively assess activity behaviours (i.e., physical activity and sedentary behaviour) in patients with malignant pleural effusion. First, we aim to describe the physical activity and sedentary behavior of patients with MPE in Hong Kong. Secondarily, we aim to assess the relationships between activity behaviours and survival, quality of life, and respiratory symptoms e.g. shortness of breath.

Interventions

DEVICE
