Differences in HRQoL in patients with VS are minor and not significantly different or clinically relevant between patients managed with W&S or SRS. Similarly, patients with a growing VS managed with W&S or SRS exhibit no significant or clinical relevant difference in HRQoL during follow-up. This can aid clinicians in the counseling of patients regarding HRQoL when deciding on a management strategy after diagnosis or documented growth.
