EQ-5D-5L sub-scales scores by comorbidity and complication status.
| EQ-5D-5L sub-scale | Total, mean (SD) | No comorbidities or complications, mean (SD) | Only one comorbidity or complication, mean (SD) | Both comorbidities and complications, mean (SD) | p-values compared to no comorbidity or complication |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobility | 1.9 (1.1) | 1.7 (1.0) | 1.7 (1.1) | 2.2 (1.2) | <0.001 |
| Self-care | 1.3 (0.7) | 1.2 (0.6) | 1.2 (0.5) | 1.4 (0.9) | <0.001 |
| Usual activities | 1.4 (0.9) | 1.3 (0.7) | 1.3 (0.7) | 1.7 (1.1) | <0.001 |
| Pain/discomfort | 1.8 (1.1) | 1.7 (1.0) | 1.6 (0.9) | 2.1 (1.2) | <0.001 |
| Anxiety/depression | 1.6 (1.0) | 1.5 (0.9) | 1.5 (0.9) | 1.8 (1.1) | <0.001 |
| VAS | 74.3 (20.4) | 77.1 (18.7) | 77.5 (17.1) | 68.6 (23.8) | <0.001 |
(Sub-scales scoring: 1 = no problems, 5 = extreme problems) and (VAS score: 0 = worst health imaginable, 100 = best health imaginable).
SD, standard deviation; VAS, visual analog scale.
