SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months post implantation procedure

Population: The number of participants (n) varies from the total number of participants (N) in the study as n depends on the number of participants for which data was available at the given time-point analysis.

The Carolinas Comfort Scale (CCS) quality of life questionnaire aimed for patients who have had hernia repair surgery. Symptoms in the CCS are rated by the participants on a scale of 0 to 5, with a score of 0 suggesting no symptoms and a score of 5, disabling symptoms. A lower score on the questionnaire compared to baseline would indicate a better outcome.

The Short Form 12 (SF-12) is a self-reported 12-item questionnaire that evaluates general health and well-being (overall quality of life of an individual). The SF-12 includes questions on physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better levels of functioning.
