  1. AMTS Abbreviated Mental Test Score, a score, <9 suggests mild cognitive impairment. Score <8 suggests cognitive impairment. BI Barthel Index, score<50: severe dependent in daily living, score 50-74: moderate dependent in daily living, score 75-89: slightly dependent in daily living, score 90-99: minimal dependent in daily living, score: 100, not at all dependent in daily living. EQ-5D-5L index EuroQoL 5-Dimensions 5-Level index, ranging from an index of 1.00 indicates full health and 0 (equal to death) to -0.59 (worse state than death). These index values have been converted from population norms.
  2. EQ-VAS score, score 0-100 of overall self-reported current health state. Score 0: the worst health you can imagine, score 100: the best health you can imagine. Numbers are n (%) unless otherwise specified.
