The results can be seen in Figure 2. The association was in the expected direction, R2 = 0.642. The oncology patients scored higher on the first 17 items of the LORQ than the other patient groups. Furthermore, the general practice group reported fewer problems with their oral rehabilitation than the university dental clinic group. Box plots of this variable for the different patient groups are shown in Figure 3.
