SD, standard deviation.
∗
Scores on the FACIT-Fatigue Scale range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating less fatigue.
†
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.
‡
EQ-5D-5L index scores range from 0 (the value of a health state equivalent to dead) to 1 (the value of full health).
§
The EQ-VAS is a vertical visual analog scale that takes values between 100 (best imaginable health) and 0 (worst imaginable health).
