Negative magnitudes represent decreases in score and positive magnitudes represent increases in score. Start date is defined as the start of placement, for those placed, or the time at which it was decided that a person could not be placed, for those not placed
*n.b final time-point was shorter than six-months for some participants to maximise data collection and longer than 6 months for others due to failure to return on time. The median time from start date to final follow-up was 211 days (IQR 175 to 231)
†We mapped EQ-5D 5L scores onto the 3L value set as per the NICE position paper recommendation (see the “Methods” section) [25]
