Assessment

Primary outcomes

Adverse events: Adverse events refer to any untoward occurrence during treatment, regardless of whether it is causally related to the treatment. Data are collected by self-report from patients.

Dropout: This refers to a participant withdrawing from treatment or the study midway. The reasons for dropout are investigated by telephone interview.

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale: This is a self-report questionnaire to assess the level of anxiety and depression. This scale allows for scores from 0 to 21 for each subscale (anxiety and depression), for a total of 42 points. For each subscale (anxiety and depression), higher scores indicate a higher severity of the symptom. (0-7 points: normal range (no or mild symptoms), 8-10 points: moderate symptoms, 11 points or more: severe symptoms)
