Table 3.

Baseline: the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores and the SF-36 for both groups at visit 1.

Anxiety 8.8 (5.2) 4.2 (3.4) 0.02
Depression 5.4 (2.4) 4.8 (2.2) 0.54
SF-36 scale Control (n = 11) MyIdea (n = 13) P-value
Physical function 41.4 (32.6) 44.2 (28.3) 0.82
Role limitation (physical) 31.8 (40.5) 42.3 (35.9) 0.51

General health 50.0 (19.0) 47.3 (18.7) 0.73

P-values were obtained using independent t-tests. HADS scale: 0 corresponds to low depression and anxiety and 10 corresponds to high depression and anxiety. Comparison of SF-36 results between the two groups. Due to high attrition rates for visit 2 and 3, group comparisons are not shown for those visits. Numbers in parentheses are SDs.
