主要结局
General quality of life
时间窗: October 2022 to Jan 2023
Overall health through visual analogue scale (VAS) from zero (the worst imaginable health) to 100 (the best imaginable health) from the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 5 Level Version (EQ5D-5L).
Stoma-specific quality of life
时间窗: October 2022 to Jan 2023
The Stoma Quality of life questionnaire consists of 20 questions about stoma-specific aspects of quality of life where each variable is valued equally. Answers are graded in a four-point scale; 1: always, 2: sometimes, 3: rarely, and 4: not at all, with a maximum score of 80. The higher score the better QoL. To get a comparable overall result, the total score (range 20-80) can be converted to a zero to 100 score.
