โฆ Synopsis
Nothing to report. * Cross-sectional mean differences between groups are shown. **All studies measured HRQL using the 8 SF-36 Health Survey subscales and the 2 SF-36 summary component scores-the Mental Component score (MCS) and Physical Component score (PCS). โ (Adapted with permission from Spiegel et al. 16 ) โ Reports listed in this table, published between 1997 and 2004, do not specify the version of the SF-36 used in the individual studies. The SF-36 was introduced in 1992 and, after empirical testing, version 2 became available in 1996. 32 โก Gifford et al. used the SF-12, a shorter version of the SF-36.
