- Abstract
The article focuses on a longitudinal European Palliative Care Cancer Symptom study investigating the incidence of increased breathlessness in cases of advanced cancer. It states that a multivariate random coefficients regression was used to analyze symptom severity. It reports that moderate to severe pain and low performance status were predictors of worsening breathlessness over a follow-up period ranging up to 133 days.
