PCS and MCS scores were calculated from available and valid responses for 85 (57%) participants at baseline, 91 (61%) at 6-month, 67 (45%) at 12-month and 61 (41%) at 24-month follow-up. Missing data resulted mainly from patients lost to follow-up or incomplete questionnaires. In both, the standard of care control and the treatment groups, a significant increase in MCS [control: 54.9 (26.0, 63.2) vs. 49.6 (25.6, 67.7), Median changes in KDQOL-SF SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores in the study groups stratified by standard of care control and treatment at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months after KT.
