Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Satisfaction with ProcedureAt 48 Hours Post Baseline

Score describes a patient's satisfaction with a healthcare decision. It measures satisfaction across 6 domains via 6 questions scored on a 5 point scale. Score ranges from 6 to 30. A low score signifies dissatisfaction, a high score signifies high satisfaction.
