HRQL, Health-related Quality of Life; SWB, Social/family Well-being; B, regression coefficient; SE, standard error; sr², squared semi-partial correlation
*Difference in predicted follow-up SWB score for a 1 SD difference in interval variables or the difference relative to the reference category for nominal variables. Effects with a magnitude of at least 2 points are considered meaningful and are indicated in bold font.
