SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting. Items are grouped into three categories: functional status, well-being, overall health assessment. In two dimensions, the answer is binary (yes / no) and in the other 6 in ordinal quality (3 to 6 possible answers). For each dimension, the scores for the different items are coded and then summed and transformed linearly on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. A physical composite score and a mental composite score can be calculated according to an established algorithm

- Depression and Anxiety status [ Time Frame: at 3 months ]
Depression and anxiety will be assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The HAD scale is a self-assessment scale for detecting states of depression and anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical outpatient clinic.
HADS is a self-administered scale of 14 items which assessed levels of depression and anxiety, divided into 2 subscales of 7 items (Anxiety or HADS-A, Depression or HADS-D). Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3. A score is generated for each of the two sub-scales (sum of the 7 items, ranging from 0 to 21). Limit scores, for each of the scores, distinguish: non-cases or asymptomatic ones (score ≤ 7); probable or borderline cases (score 8-10); clearly or clinically symptomatic cases (score ≥ 11).
