Higher score indicated better quality of life. Education of caregivers; higher (high school or higher than high school) versus lower (primary school or no education). Monthly income; higher (average and above average) versus lower (below average). ^aCompared between treatment arms for the changes of QOL scores at week 144 to baseline.
