EQ-5D-5L results (patients aged ≥ 18 years; subset of study population). The EQ-5D-5L measure is comprised of two sections: the first assesses five domains impacting quality of life (mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). Combining the levels for each domain creates the overall index value. The second section measures self-rated (global) health status utilising a vertically oriented visual analogue scale (VAS) where 100 represents the “best imaginable health state” and 0 represents the “worst imaginable health state.” Error bars are SD. Population norms are provided for the EQ-5D-5L index values for Germany (0.902), Spain (0.915) and Italy (0.899) [26]. SD Standard deviation, VAS Visual analogue scale
