SF-36 assessments in the 1-year cohort. Norm-based median scores per domain at the three different time points. The X-axis represents the different domains of the SF-36. The Y-axis represents the norm-based median scores in a respective domain of the SF-36. A norm-based median score between 47 and 53 in a group of patients is considered as normal or average. Norm-based median scores below 47 indicate impaired functioning or below average; norm-based median scores above 53 indicate better functioning or above average. Only significant P values (Mann–Whitney U analysis) are shown above the respective domains.
