Multivariable logistic regression of the relationship between hope and perceived physical benefit

Perceived physical benefit is measured by the change in FOSI symptom score (from baseline to last assessment (negative scores indicate increase in symptoms); and by the perceived benefit scale. Also shown are multivariable logistic regression models predicting improvement according to FOSI (i.e., ≥10 points) and a perceived benefit rating higher than 5.

^aLarger scores represent greater hope.

^bLarger scores represent worse anxiety and depression.
