- Abstract
The article discusses a study comparing symptom clusters in a subgroup of non-zero Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) score patients with those in the total patient sample. The study revealed that clear distinctions existed between the symptom clusters identified in the non-zero subgroup and in the total sample population at baseline. Symptom clusters determined using different statistical methods at baseline, in the total advanced cancer patient sample were comparable.
