  1. Respondents were ranked by their scores and divided into tertiles (T1, T2 and T3) corresponding to best, intermediate, and worst, respectively. GHP was measured on a 1–7 scale (1 = poor health and 7 = excellent health). TSQM transformed scores were measured on a 0–100 scale (0 = worst satisfaction and 100 = perfect satisfaction). Fatigue was assessed using the PROMIS Fatigue Short Form 7a and Parent/Caregiver Proxy respectively ( 29.4 = least fatigue and 83.2 = most fatigue)
