Questionnaire - MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT). Results reflect patient-reported symptoms. Here they are presented as a mean change: the difference in the weighted mean of symptom severity and interference scores at baseline versus at 6 months. The difference between these scores is the mean change reported below. The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory has a scale of 0-10, 0 being not present and 10 being as bad as the patient could imagine. The calculated score change has a range of -10 to 10; -10 being the best. Change in score is calculated as the composite weighted means of symptom severity and interference at 6 months minus the composite weighted means of symptom severity and interference at baseline.

The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) is a tool designed to assess a cancer patient's functional status. Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better function. Scores 90-100 indicate that the patient is independent and can perform daily activities with little to no effort.

A score of 70 indicates that a patient can care for themself but cannot carry on normal activities independently.
