BT: bone tumour; ES: Ewing sarcoma; GIST: gastrointestinal stromal tumour; IQR: interquartile range; LL: lower limb; M: mean; ns: not stated; OS: osteosarcoma; sd: standard deviation; STS: soft tissue sarcoma. 1Calculated from interpreting the information reported in the paper not necessarily what the authors report. 2Not enough detail reported to be able to calculate a response rate. 3Age at diagnosis; age at study not reported. 4Age reported for each group: diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. 5The age reported in the text is different to the age reported in the table (range 33–77). 6Reported for the whole cohort (n = 664) not just the 411 respondents of the patient-reported outcome.
