*High score = worse quality of life

** Median and interquartile range reported by trial authors and converted to mean and standard deviation by review authors: Volpe 2014a using technique described by Wan 2014 and Goodwin 2011 using the technique described in the Cochrane Handbook (Higgins 2017). Conversion techniques differed due to the different sample sizes in the trials.
