“…In addition, MF patients had the lowest scores on trait anxiety, in comparison to the other groups. Studies in other chronic diseases, such as breast cancer, show that trait anxiety is an important predictor of fatigue [35]. Which of the before mentioned explanations for the decreased lung function in MF patients are most important in sarcoidosis, needs to be explored in future research.…”

“…(1) While over 90% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer will undergo surgery, only a limited number of longitudinal studies have evaluated for preoperative levels of fatigue and changes in fatigue following surgery. (2–5) Across these studies, a variety of demographic (e.g., younger age (3)) and clinical (e.g., partial mastectomy (6), poorer functional status (4, 6)) characteristics, as well as psychological factors (e.g., pre-surgical expectancies for fatigue (3), introversion (5)) were associated with higher levels of fatigue following surgery. In these studies, the length of post-surgical follow-up ranged from one week (3) to one year (6).…”

Context Little is known about the phenotypic and molecular characteristics associated with changes over time in fatigue and lack of energy in patients with breast cancer. Objectives To identify subgroups (i.e., latent classes) of women with distinct fatigue and energy trajectories; evaluate for differences in phenotypic characteristics between the latent classes for fatigue and energy; and evaluate for associations between polymorphisms in genes for pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, their receptors, and their transcriptional regulators and latent class membership. Methods Patients were enrolled prior to and followed for six months after breast cancer surgery. Latent class analyses were done to identify subgroups of patients with distinct fatigue and energy trajectories. Candidate gene analyses were done to identify cytokine genes associated with these two symptoms. Results For both fatigue and lack of energy, two distinct latent classes were identified. Phenotypic characteristics associated with the higher fatigue class were: younger age, higher education, lower KPS score, higher comorbidity, higher number of lymph nodes removed, and receipt of chemotherapy (CTX). Polymorphisms in interleukin (IL) 1 beta and IL10 were associated with membership in the higher fatigue class. Phenotypic characteristics associated with the lower energy class included: a lower KPS score and a higher comorbidity score. A polymorphism in IL1R1 was associated with membership in the lower energy class. Conclusion Within each latent class, the severity of fatigue and decrements in energy were relatively stable over the first six months following breast cancer surgery. Distinct phenotypic characteristics and genetic polymorphisms were associated with membership in the higher fatigue and lower energy classes.

“…In general, these women also score high on fatigue (i.e. physical problems) and depressive symptoms [34] irrespective of diagnosis.…”
