Table 2

EQ-5D-5L index and EQ-VAS score stratified by the level of medication regimen complexity.

MRC category	n	EQ-5D-5L index					EQ-VAS score
		Mean ± SD	Welch F	value	Games-Howell posthoc analysis: value (95% CI)		Mean ± SD	Welch F	value	Games-Howell posthoc analysis: value (95% CI)
					Low complexity	Medium complexity				Low complexity	Medium complexity
Low complexity	09	0.85 ± 0.08	8.71	0.001			81.67 ± 6.61	7.88	0.002
Medium complexity	169	0.79 ± 0.14			0.229 (−0.03–0.14)		79.24 ± 10.87			0.575 (−3.99–8.85)
High complexity	238	0.74 ± 0.15			0.003 (0.01–0.09)	0.017 (0.18–0.28)	75.30 ± 11.85			0.002 (1.29–6.63)	0.05 (−0.01–12.78)

CI: confidence interval; EQ‐5D‐5L: euroqol-five dimensions five-levels; EQ‐VAS: euroqol-visual analogue scale MRC: medication regimen complexity; SD: standard deviation.
