Effect of the intervention on quality-of-life outcome measures compared with usual care at 1-year follow-up. Linear regression models with absolute effects and scaled relative effects for: (1) EQ-5D, EuroQol five-dimension health state; (2) EQ-VAS: EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale; (3) Generalised self efficacy (GSE); (4) Summary (mean of all) pain scores: mean of four scores from brief pain inventory; (5) ‘average pain’; (6) ‘worst pain’; (7) ‘least pain’; (8) ‘pain right now’. All pain scores ranges=0–10. Logistic regression, with ORs for risk of screening for depression (HADS-depression ≥8/21) and anxiety (HADS-anxiety ≥8/21).

BPI, Brief Pain Inventory; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; VAS, Visual Analogue Scale.
