  1. aScores are reported separately for the two pain items and the three function items. All satisfaction scores were dichotomized to indicate whether the patient was either satisfied (i.e., very satisfied or satisfied) or unsatisfied (neutral, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied). The table reports the sample size (n) and percentage of patients for each appropriateness classification and for baseline and 6-month time points
