Multivariable Analysis examining the association between Family Caregivers (FC) prognostic understanding and their QOL and mood during patients’ hospitalization for HCT

Variables of Interest Estimate of
Difference
(β)		 95% CI P value
QOL Physical Component Scale
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −2.2 [−7.4, 3.1] P = 0.42
QOL Mental Component Scale
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −3.6 [−11.0, 3.8] P = 0.34
Depression (HADS-Depression)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding 0.79 [−1.2, 2.8] P = 0.45
Anxiety (HADS-Anxiety)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding 1.2 [−1.1, 3.5] P = 0.30
Depressive Syndrome (PHQ9)
Accurate vs. inaccurate prognostic understanding −0.83 [−3.5, 1.9] P = 0.54

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