Multivariate logistic regression analyses employed investigate A P value less than 0.05 statistically significant. Two hundred twenty enrolled (average age 52.7 ± 12.4 years, 61.8% females, 69.1% stage 4). The average multidimensional utility score population 0.82 ± 0.13, while single-attribute scores ranged from 0.73 0.89. speech, discomfort symptoms dimensions had highest (0.89) lowest (0.73) scores, respectively. who uneducated [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) 0.34, 95% CI (0.12–0.97)] significantly likely have poor compared those tertiary education level. Additionally, unemployed [AOR 4.69, (1.69–13.02)], self-employed 4.25, (1.26–14.38)] more retirees shows that overall participants high, though considerable proportion them HRQoL, dimension most impacted.
