^aThe dependent variable was a dichotomized QoL-5 score change, with a cut-off value of ≥ 0.2 (i.e., a large and clinically relevant QoL change).
^bP-value obtained from bivariate logistic regression.
^cP-value obtained from multivariable logistic regression; multivariable analysis included variables with p-values <0.20 in bivariate analyses.
^dTime in controlled environment last 30 days before follow-up interview.
