2. Fig 1
Comparison of results for the Medical Outcomes Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 1 year. The dashed blue line indicates the null value (no effect of cranial nerve injury [CNI]), the solid squares indicate the estimated mean effect of CNI on each health status domain, and the range bars indicate the 95% confidence interval for the effect. No significant differences noted at any interval between the groups with and without CNI.

3. Fig 2
Comparison of Likert scale results at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 1 year. The dashed blue line indicates the null value (no effect of cranial nerve injury [CNI]), the solid squares indicate the estimated mean effect of CNI on each health status domain, and the range bars indicate the 95% confidence interval for the effect. A significantly worse outcome in difficulty eating/swallowing was noted for the group with CNI vs without CNI at 2 weeks and 1 month (P < .001). At the 1-year follow-up, there was a nonsignificant trend toward a worse outcome for the same parameter for the group with CNI (P = .0586).
