Table 5 Changes in Quality of Life scores

From: Pilot randomised controlled trial of Weight Watchers® referral with or without dietitian-led group support for weight loss in women treated for breast cancer: the BRIGHT (BReast cancer weIGHT loss) trial

  1. Table showing changes in QoL scores between baseline and 12 months (linear mixed model) for Physical well-being (PWB), Social/Family well-being (SWB), Emotional well-being (EWB), Functional well-being (FWB), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General (FACT-G = PWB + SWB + EWB + FWB) and Breast Cancer specific (BCS) subscales, as well as the overall scale of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—for breast cancer (FACT-B = FACT-G + BCS) and the Trial outcome index (TOI = PWB + FWB + BCS)
  2. A higher value indicates greater improvement. Suggested minimally important differences (MID) for the scale: BCS = 2–3 points, TOI = 5–6 points, FACT-G total = 5–6 points and FACT-Breast total = 7–8 points [53]. The values shaded in grey highlighting the subscales that obtained MID
