Mean change in quality of life scores by response to the global transition question
| Response to GTJ | CARIES-QC Interval | FIS | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number (%) | Change score | p-value | Number (%) | Change score | p-value | |
| Improved | 78 (91.8%) | 4.68 ± 4.81 (− 7.8–16.92) | < 0.001* | 46 (54.1%) | 1.65 ± 9.23 (− 17–24) | 0.46 |
| Stayed the same | 7 (8.2%) | 1.69 ± 5.61 (− 8.63–6.69) | 0.49 | 39 (45.9%) | 2.82 ± 5.83 (− 7–20) | 0.009 |
| Got worse | 0 | n/a | n/a | 0 | n/a | n/a |
CARIES−QC interval scores show mean ± SD (range). p−values are for Wilcoxon test for difference between baseline and follow−up scores for each group
*Statistically significant result between scores at baseline and follow−up (p<0.05)
