66 CHAPTER 4 4.3.6 O verall health-related quality of life at baseline and at three, six, and twelve months When visualised by use of a spider web chart, overall HRQoL revealed marked differences between groups at all time points, including baseline (Figure 3). This difference in HRQoL at baseline was not reflected by a clinically relevant difference in frailty scores (Table 1). Comparing role limitations due to physical problems (RP) in both groups resulted in the highest score difference at twelve months after admission (NR: 0 [0–50]; R: 100 [75–100], p < 0.001). Mental health and Role Emotional domain scores remained high in both groups. The full data on domain scores at baseline, three, six and twelve months can be found in the S2 Table. Table 2.
