Population: Participants who completed the study.

EuroQOL-5DL health states can be represented by a single summary number (index value), which reflects how good or bad a health state is according to the preferences of the general population of a country/region. An EQ-5D summary index is derived by applying a formula that attaches values (weights) to each of the levels in each dimension. The index is calculated by deducting the appropriate weights from 1, the value for full health. A higher index value indicates a greater health state; an increase in index value indicates an improvement in health state. The summary item can range from 0 (worst quality of life) to 100 (best quality of life).
