Changes in quality of life (EQ-5D index score)
Quality of life will be measured with the EQ-5D-5L instrument's index score. The EQ-5D comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems). The outcome will be presented as EQ-5D index values using the United Kingdom (UK) value set.

Changes in quality of life (EQ VAS)
Quality of life will be measured by EQ-5D-5L instrument's EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. The scale is numbered from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates "worst" and 100 indicates "best". The outcome will be presented as EQ-5D VAS scores.
