TSQM global score	-0.41	< 0.0001
TSQM efficacy score	-0.26	< 0.0001
TSQM convenience score	-0.53	< 0.0001

The TSQM assesses satisfaction with medication. Scores range from 0 to 100. A high score indicates high satisfaction with the medication. Negative coefficients indicate a decrease in the TSQM score associated with an increase in treatment burden.
