a
All HRQOL scores and their mean differences were reported as mean and standard deviation.
b
The p-value was calculated using paired sample t-test, and 82 patients without missing values in the 12-item Short Form Survey at KT and 6 weeks after KT were included for this comparison.
c
The p-value was calculated using independent sample t-test.
