| Emotional health c | 61.3 (19.1) | 66.9 (18.0) | 5.6 (1.3, 9.8) | p = 0.011 |
| PCS (T-score) d | 38.2 (10.2) | 43.0 (10.9) | 4.9 (2.6, 7.2) | p < 0.001 |
| MCS (T-score) d | 41.8 (11.5) | 44.1 (11.5) | 2.3 (−0.2, 4.8) | p = 0.069 |
a n = 68, b n = 67, c n = 66, d n = 65. * Change from baseline. SF-36 scores: higher scores mean better quality of life.
