| Factor | predictive value of illness perceptions for QOL of mental component summary of the SF-36(MCS): emotional representation |
| 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. |
| Biomarker | YES |
| Classification | F3 (psychosocial factor - emotion) |
| 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 | Patients who had a strong belief that the illness caused negative emotions reported low scores on the MCS (B= –0.43, p<0.01) and the Worries scale (B= –0.60, p<0.01) and high scores on the PCS scale(B=0.23, p=0.01). |
