Entries with light shading denote statistically significant deterioration, while those with dark shading indicate statistically significant improvement. Within the EQ-5D subscales (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), lower scores indicate less impairment and higher scores more impairment in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). For EQ-VAS, higher values indicate improved self-rated health and lower values indicate worse self-rated health. Quoted p-values = raw p-vales × 2 to adjust for multiple comparisons.
VAS, EuroQol’s visual analogue scale; TTFields, tumor treating fields.
