* defined as percentage who accepted participation and answered the patient-reported outcome measures out of total number. No subscale calculations † floor effect defined as percentage of worst possible outcome out of total number ‡ ceiling effect defined as percentage of best possible outcome out of total number § too many items missing to calculate a sum score (if more than 2 items were omitted, the response was considered invalid and no overall score was calculated, in accordance with the User Manual)
