^a Treatment outcomes were known at 6 months for 575 of the 648 study participants: those who refused to be tested, were transferred to another area or whose diagnosis changed were excluded.

^b Quality of life was assessed using the question, “How would you rate your health-related quality of life?” and scored from 0 (worst) to 10 (best).

^c Quality-of-life and disability were assessed in 648 participants at baseline and in 532 at 6 months.

^d Disability was assessed using the interviewer-administered version of the 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, version 2.0 (score range: 0 to 60).²³
