Quality of life scores
nausea/vomiting, anxiety/depression, fatigue, pain
The results of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D in the FAS, including Global QoL, functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), and symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, and appetite) from the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire and the five items in the EQ-5D-5L (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) as well as today’s health status were similar between the treatment groups at baseline. There were items and time points that showed statistically significant differences between the groups, but the differences between the groups were probably because of the omission of results from the time point after 20 weeks, as the number of subjects that dropped out of both groups increased.
