  1. Higher values represent greater restrictions of HRQoL, negative change-scores imply improvement of symptoms
  2. THR Total hip replacement, TKR Total knee replacement, EQ-5D-5L dimensions EuroQol Five-Dimensional Five-Level Questionnaire dimensions (1 - 5)
  3. P-values for differences between baseline and follow-up within groups of THR and TKR were calculated using a t-test for paired samples. P-values for differences in change scores were calculated using b t-test for unpaired samples
