Dyad groups significantly different from the reference group ^(Ref) are noted with

^*p < 0.05 and

^**p 0.01. Reference group is dyads in which neither the patient nor caregiver had suboptimal well-being.

^aANOVA and Fisher’s exact tests were used for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
