Obtained from fitting a separate mixed-effects regression model with dependent variable being the corresponding patient-reported outcome. Each model included as covariates age, BMI, race, procedure type, laterality, lymph node biopsy, diabetes, radiation and chemotherapy. Also included are random intercepts for study sites (hospitals). Results were combined based on n = 10 imputation.
