P-value < 0.05 was statistically significant.
All PROMIS® data were reported as T-scores.
PF: physical function; PROMIS: patient reported outcomes measurement information system; UE: upper extremity.
Higher PROMIS® scores indicated more severe or worse fatigue, pain interference, depression, or anxiety, while lower PROMIS® scores indicated more limited, impaired or worse upper extremity physical function, or mobility physical function.
