Abstract
PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: Eighty-eight patients met all inclusion criteria and had a complete dataset, and were included in the analysis. SF-36 factor analysis confirmed comparability between the study group and the general population. All PQL items correlated with all 8 mental and physical health domains in the SF-36 (P < .0001). Bland-Altman plots demonstrated consistently similar measure for level of agreement between PQL and SF-36 as indicated by the 95% limits of agreement. CONCLUSION
