Note:
a
Bonferroni correction was done for multiple comparisons;
b
Pain was censored and thus the value in this table does not carry clinical meaning but it shows relative distribution across groups;
HPHF = high pain and high fatigue subgroup; LPLF = low pain and low fatigue subgroup; LPHF = low pain and high fatigue subgroup.
