DW point estimates from Table 2 in Liu et al. (There is considerable overlap in 95% uncertainty intervals which could yet contain the true estimate but the DW point estimates themselves suggest a clear improvement in health state despite lay descriptions worsening [in particular, DW estimates for profound and complete HL suggest lower severity compared to the severe HL state (blue dashed line indicates lower bound of severe HL)].
