Factor predictive value of illness perceptions for QOL of physical component summary of the SF-36(PCS):consequences

Biomarker YES
Classification A6 (clinical factor - other)
Association
Application prognosis and risk assessment
Objective To examine (a) the relation between patient characteristics and illness perceptions, and (b) the independent predictive value of illness perceptions for future QoL.
p Value <0.01
Conclusion A strong belief that the illness has severe consequences was predictive of low scores on the Worries (B= –0.29, p=0.01), PCS (B= –0.53, p<0.01) and Symptoms (B= –0.28, p=0.01) scales.
