Estimates based on ANCOVA model adjusted for age. P values for pairwise comparisons adjusted using the Hochberg procedure. P values for overall F test for comparison of scores between diagnostic categories: QUALMS mean (P = .082), physical burden (P = .242), benefit finding (P = .539), emotional (P = .028), FACT-G total (P = .750), physical well-being (P = .748), social well-being (P = .818), emotional well-being (P = .700), functional well-being (P = .293), EQ-5D-5L (P = .214), PROMIS Fatigue (P = .681).
ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; N, number of participants in each disease group with an observed QOL score and vulnerability data.
