(5.0%). SAEs: post-discharge deaths and hospitalisations in the
intervention group – 371/2247 (16.5%) and control group 590/2742
(21.5%).
c Overall pain outcomes did not change pre/post
intervention (Visual Analogue Scale out of 100mm; Intervention: 60mm
(Range: 50-75mm); Control: 60mm (Range: 50-75mm)).
d Overall quality of life outcomes did not change
pre/post intervention ((EQ-5D-5L; Intervention: 0.722 (95%CI 0.406 to
0.871); Control: 0.743 (95%CI 0.425 to 0.871)).
