Comparison of proportions of patients reporting a good, moderate and bad HRQoL on the SF-36 with aetiological category and with level of recovery as assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS).

The p-values indicate whether the differences in proportions between good, moderate and bad HRQoL in each aetiological category and for each GOS outcome (as calculated through a 3×3 contingency table) are statistically significant (bold) or not. This indicates the strength of the statistical association between each HRQoL domain on one hand, and separately aetiological category and GOS on the other.PF = Physical Functioning, RP = Role Physical, BP = Bodily Pain, GH = General Health, VT = Vitality, SF = Social Functioning, RE = Role Emotional, MH = Mental Health perceptions.
