| Factor | predictive value of illness perceptions for QOL of symptoms: timeline-cycle |
| Description | These multivariable analyses also revealed that illness perceptions were predictive of both the mental and physical summary score two years later while adjusted for sex, age, disease complexity and functional status. |

| 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 is changeable was predictive of low scores on the PCS (B= –0.39, p<0.01) and Symptoms (B= –0.97, p<0.01) scale. |
