Distinct Symptom Profiles in Younger and Older Patients With Cancer Receiving Chemotherapy
Study is the first to use latent class analysis to identify distinct symptom burden profiles in younger versus older oncology patients. In the younger group, differences in the occurrence of psychological symptoms differentiated among the symptom burden profiles. While some of the risk factors were similar, within the older group, patients in the High symptom burden class used a higher number of disengagement coping strategies.
