EPIC bowel bother at baseline and following SBRT for prostate cancer. (a) Bowel bother was stratified to three levels of bother: no problem, very small-small problem, and moderate-big problem. (b) Average overall bowel bother scores (Question 7 of the EPIC 26). (c) EPIC bowel bother scores in patients with or without urinary symptom flare. Thresholds for clinically significant changes in scores (½ standard deviation above and below the baseline) are marked with dashed lines. EPIC scores range from 0–100 with higher values representing a more favorable health-related QOL.
