结局指标
主要结局
Change in The WHO-5 Well-Being Index
时间窗: The Time Frame was from the beginning of the participation in the study (baseline) and at the completion of the study participation (approximately 1 year).
This is a Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) for studying changes in the Well-Being Index during ongoing treatment. In many cases it was not possible to maintain the patients in the study for the intended time period and it was found necessary to accept the latest evaluation as the final measurement of change. It will be possible to report the observation time in months for each single case and to report the median of these periods of observation.
