Notes: For both EQ-5D scores, 0 represents a health state of being dead and 1 a health state of being at full health (the EQ-5D VAS score was normalized between 0 and 1 for comparative purposes). The relationship between symptoms and EQ-5D results is described at the 6-month assessment, since the number of patients in each symptom category was most evenly distributed at this time point.
