Multivariable Analysis examining the association between patients’ prognostic understanding and their QOL and mood during hospitalization for HCT

Variables of Interest Estimate of
Difference
(β)		 95% CI P value
QOL (FACT-BMT)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −9.4 [−16.8,−2.1] P = 0.01
QOL (FACT-TOI)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −7.2 [−12.8, −1.6] P = 0.01
Fatigue (FACT-Fatigue)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −7.0 [−11.6, −2.3] P = 0.003
Depression (HADS-Depression)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding 1.7 [0.26, 3.1] P = 0.02
Anxiety (HADS-Anxiety)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −0.2 [−1.7, 1.3] P = 0.81
Depressive Syndrome (PHQ9)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding 1.3 [1.0–1.6] P < 0.0001

The estimate of difference: estimated difference in scores compared to the reference group (inaccurate prognostic understanding) based on the results of the multivariable linear mixed models adjusting for age, comorbidities (HCT-CI), type of HCT, and time.
