Note: models were adjusted by sex, age, educational level, family registration, treatment status, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and duration; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. b, coefficient; 95% C.I., 95% confidence interval; For EQ-Index, Tobit regression model was used; for PF, EF and SF, the OLS model was used.
