A lower score indicates a higher quality of life, and a higher score indicates a lower quality of life.

Change in distress will be calculated using the Distress scale. The Distress scale asks patients to rate their distress on a scale from 0 - 10, with 0 meaning "no distress" and 10 meaning "extreme distress." Lower scores indicate less distress.

Lower scores indicate better health scores and higher scores represent worse health status.
