How the then-test of EQ-5D domains compare with baseline assessment

	Better	Similar	Worse
ENTIRE SAMPLE (n = 73)
Then-test mobility (n = 72)	3	67	2
Then-test self-care (n = 72)	2	69	1
Then-test activity (n = 73)	12	50	11
Then-test pain (n = 70)	14	46	10
Then-test anxiety (n = 72)	12	49	11
MIC IMPROVED (n = 14)
Then-test mobility (n = 14)	1	12	1
Then-test self-care (n = 14)	2	11	1
Then-test activity (n = 14)	2	10	2
Then-test pain (n = 14)	2	10	2
Then-test anxiety (n = 14)	7	5	2
UNCHANGED (n = 43)
Then-test mobility (n = 43)	1	42	0
Then-test self-care (n = 43)	0	43	0
Then-test activity (n = 43)	10	26	7
Then-test pain (n = 41)	11	27	3
Then-test anxiety (n = 42)	3	33	6
MIC DETERIORATED (n = 16)
Then-test mobility (n = 15)	1	13	1
Then-test self-care (n = 15)	0	15	0
Then-test activity (n = 16)	0	14	2
Then-test pain (n = 15)	1	9	5
Then-test anxiety (n = 16)	2	11	3

Better in this context refer to that the then-test indicate fewer symptoms/problems than the baseline assessment
