The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) quality of life (QOL) analysis for patients who required a pacemaker (PM+ up-slant bars) compared with those who did not (PM−, down-slant bars), all patients (black bars), and a reference population (dotted bars). Significances: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
