Table 3: Statistical Comparison of HRQL Scores and Proportion of Patients with Risk Scores between Subgroups.
A: P values from two-sample t tests; B: P values from Fisher’s exact test; Act.: Active Disease; Rem.: Remission; 1:Groups with more abnormal values (lower HRQL scores, higher proportion of patients with risk scores) reaching statistical significance and corresponding P values; Ps: psychosocial; Phys: physical.
