FAQLQ–PF
The total and subscale scores for the FAQLQ–PF at OFC were compared
between Groups N and O. All the scores in Group N were significantly
higher than those in Group O, indicating a better initial OOL in the
outgrowing patients (Figure 3). At 1 year after OFC, the caregivers of
49 patients (17 in Group N and 32 in Group O) completed the FAQLQ–PF
again. The scores remained the same in Group N. In contrast, both the
total and subscale scores of SDL had decreased significantly in Group O,
indicating improvement in the QoL (Table 2). Accordingly, after 1 year,
Group N still showed statistically higher scores, i.e., a worse QoL,
compared with Group O (Table S1).
