  1. Cases with complete data: CINT-Score (IG/CG 82/90); STAI-State (79/89); VAS-A (81/88); SF-12 PCS (64/66); SF-12 MCS (64/66); SEIQoL-Index (58/60); aranges from 0 (no anxiety) to 100 (maximum anxiety); branges from 20 (no anxiety) to 80 (maximum anxiety); cranges from 0 to 100, higher scores mean higher quality of life.
  2. Values are unadjusted mean values (standard deviation).
