Note. Only pairwise comparisons that were statistically significantly different are presented in this table (all ps ≤ .05). FSC = Fatigued with sleep complaints; MS – Minimal symptoms; SFPS = Severely fatigued with poor sleep; EFAS = Emotionally fatigued with average sleep; PFAS = Physically fatigued with average sleep; A = Average; Lumpect = Lumpectomy; Mastect = Mastectomy; Antidep = Antidepressants; Minor tranq = minor tranquilizers. For surgical intervention “other’ indicates double mastectomy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. For comorbidities “other’ indicates any disease not specifically queried.
