Abstract

A cohort of 63 (54.3%) of the 116 eligible patients answered the QoL-questionnaires at average 4.5 years from the operation. RAND 36-item Health Survey (RAND-36), EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC-QLQ-H&N35, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Short version of Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS20) were used in assessment. QoL was considered poor if at least one RAND-36 dimension was scored below 2SDs from age-adjusted reference values.
