QOL Domain Estimate b p-value
Overall QOL −0.429 0.013

a

Estimates from repeated measures general linear mixed models. Initial models were adjusted for baseline score, time, time*intervention and covariates: cancer stage, and radiation therapy. Time and time*intervention were not significant in any of the models. Final models included baseline score, intervention, and significant covariates.

b

Estimates <0 indicate an improvement in QOL scores

PLEASE NOTE: Lower scores reflect higher QOL. Higher scores reflect lower QOL.
