Single‐attribute utility scores have interval scale properties ranging from 1.00 (no morbidity) to 0.00 (worst level of impairment). For overall burden of morbidity (multi‐attribute utility function scores) a score of 1.00 indicates perfect health, a score of 0.89‐0.99 indicates mild burden of morbidity, a score of 0.70‐0.88 indicates moderate burden of morbidity and a score of <0.70 indicated severe burden of morbidity. Epsilon‐squared (ε2) effect sizes: small = 0.01 to <0.08, medium = 0.08 to <0.26, and large = ≥0.26.

Abbreviations: ε2, epsilon‐squared; SD, standard deviation.
