Figure 1. Standard quality of life scores on the eight quality of life domains.

Figure 1

A standardized quality of life (QoL) score <0 indicates a QoL score that is worse than the age- and gender-matched reference population, and scores >0 indicates better QoL-scores. The standardized scores can be interpreted as Cohen’s d, indicating the effect size. VT = Vitality, SF = Social Functioning, RE = Role Emotional, MH = Mental Health, PF = Physical Functioning, RP = Role Physical, BP = Bodily Pain, GH = General Health. Domains which significantly (p<0.05) differed from the age- and gender-matched reference population are marked with *.
