  2. FROM-16 Family Reported Outcome Measure-16 items; GRC Global Rating of Change scale; EQ-5D-3L Euroqol Five Dimension -three level; GS Global severity scale. EQ-5D and EQ-VAS improvement/deterioration runs in the opposite direction to FROM-16. A higher score of FROM-16 means deterioration while a higher score on EQ-5D-3L and EQ-VAS means improvement and vice versa
