d (effect size) was calculated by dividing the mean difference by the overall standard deviation. A positive Δ or d indicates a higher HRQOL reported by boys, those in the younger age group (8–11 years), or healthy individuals. Values in bold indicate |d| > 0.20
* Statistically significant difference (p < 0.05)
