Grouping variables Sample Clauses

Grouping variables. ‌ Mental Health prediction models. Self-reported mental health status at either 12 or 18 months post-diagnosis, indexed by the total score on the 14-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), served as the outcome variable in these models. Higher scores indicate more frequent psychological symptoms. The clinically validated cut-off score of 16/42 points in a wide range of languages was used to identify patients who reported potentially clinically significant symptoms at M0 and at M121,2. For each model, patients were assigned to two classes: (a) those who reported non-clinically significant symptoms of anxiety and depression at M0 (i.e., immediately following BC diagnosis) and clinically significant symptomatology at M12 or M18 according to validated cut-offs on HADS total score (Deteriorated Mental Health group), and (b) those who reported mild symptomatology throughout the first 12 or 18 months post diagnosis (Stable-Good Mental Health group). QoL prediction models. Self-rated, overall quality of life at either 12 or 18 months post- diagnosis, was assessed using the two questions from The Global Health Status scale from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C303 questionnaire. Higher scores indicate better overall QoL. In the absence of a clinically validated cut-off score we used the 25th percentile of the total sample distribution of scores at M0 to identify patients who rated their QoL as relatively poor (corresponding to a score of 75 points). For each model, patients were assigned to two classes: (a) those who reported EORTC>75 points at M0 and poor QoL at M12 or M18 (as indicated by scores ≤75 points) (Deteriorated QoL group), and (b) those who reported relatively good QoL (>75 points) throughout the first 12 or 18 months post diagnosis (Stable-Good QoL group). 1 Xx Y, Levis B, Xxx Y, He C, Xxxxxxxx A, Xxxxxxx D, Xxxxxxxx PM, Negeri Z, Xxxxxxxxx A, Xxxxxx XX; DEPRESsion Screening Data (DEPRESSD) HADS Group.
