Associations of Physical and Psychologic Symptom Burden in Patients With Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

摘要

BackgroundThe physical symptom burden of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) may endure for extended periods during their disease trajectories and lead to psychological distress, anxiety, and/or depression. This study evaluated the relationship between physical symptom burden captured by the Physical Problem List (PPL) on the Distress Thermometer and Problem List (DT&PL) and psychological outcomes (distress, anxiety, and depression) in the MPN setting.
