For comparison between baseline and follow-up Wilcoxon signed-ranks test were used and significance set at *p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001.
† For comparison between the four alternatives rs= Spearmen’s rank correlation test were used for continuous variables.
B, baseline; BP, bodily pain; FU, follow-up; GH, general health; MH, mental health; PF, physical function; RE, role emotional; RP, role physical; SF, social function.
