- A total of 376 precancer and 2,470 CRC patients participated, with utility scores indicating a significant decline in HRQoL compared to the general population, particularly noting pain and discomfort as major issues.* -
- Multivariate analysis identified various factors influencing utility scores including treatment type, education, income, and geographic location, suggesting the need for tailored interventions and further evaluations in healthcare.*
