Quality of Life
In patients treated with TORS a GBI total average value of +30.4 was obtained, with a maximum of +75.0 and a minimum value of -16.7. In the group of patients treated with CPAP a total GBI average value resulted to be +33.2 with a range between +88.9 and -11.1. No statistical difference emerged comparing the two study groups regarding the total GBI value (p=0.4) (Table 2).
General benefit, social benefit score and the physical score of both groups showed positive values; values are reported in Table 2 . Comparing the two groups of patients, there was no statistical difference in the general benefit score (p = 0.1). Differently, the two groups of patients studied, showed a statistical difference in the values of social status benefit (p= 0.0006), that appeared better in the CPAP group, and in the physical status benefit (p=0.04) that on the contrary, was greater in the TORS group.
