The influencing factors of cancer-related fatigue in Chinese patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: A cross-sectional study

The study identified moderate CRF levels in patients with MDS, with severity influenced by age, IPSS-R risk category, chemotherapy regimen, anxiety/depression, and nutritional status. Multivariate analysis identified anxiety/depression and nutritional status as key contributing factors. These findings highlight the need for further research into the pathogenesis of MDS-associated CRF, particularly focusing on comprehensive assessment and targeted management of anxiety/depression and nutritional status in this patient population.
