6 months
Overall Quality of Life
Time Frame: 6 months
Analysis for measure was done for the total of all three sites combined. Higher values represent better quality of life. Value was calculated by adding the mental and physical subscale values. Values could range from 8 to 40.
6 months
Physical Subscale Quality of Life
Time Frame: 6 months
Analysis for measure was done for the total of all three sites combined. Higher values represent better quality of life. This scare consisted of 4 questions that had scales ranging from 1 to 5. The scores were summed and values could range from 4 to 20.
6 months
Mental Subscale Quality of Life
Time Frame: 6 months
