Death, CABM
Patients’ follow-up lasted one year after CABM. At 12 months, a telephone call was made by a trained researcher to ask patients about their health status and subjective HRQOL. When it was not possible to interview the patients directly, interviews were addressed to 1)patient’s proxies and 2)general practitioner. In case of non-response, the phone call was repeated 3 times in a period of 3 weeks; in case of failure after 3 phone call attempts, vital status was obtained using the French Epidemiology Centre on Medical Causes of Death (CepiDc) database.
