Raw scores 0–4 are summated for each response. A positive value is applied as responses represent a positive effector on overall QoL

b

P value of Friedman’s test for comparison of social/family well-being among the three time points within the NUS procedure group = 0.34. P value of Kruskal–Wallis test for comparison of social/family well-being at 7 days after the procedure among the three procedure groups = 0.21

c

P value of Friedman’s test for comparison of social/family well-being among the three time points within the STENT procedure group = 0.76. P value of Kruskal–Wallis test for comparison of social/family well being at 30 days after the procedure among the three procedure groups = 0.15

d

P value of Friedman’s test for comparison of social/family well-being among the three time points within the TUBE procedure group = 0.11. P value of Kruskal–Wallis test for comparison of social/family well-being at 90 days after the procedure among the three procedure groups = 0.35
