The analysis with the EORTC QLQeLC13 showed that the CES-D was positively correlated with dyspnoea (r s ¼ .57, p < .01), coughing (r s ¼ .48, p < .01), haemoptysis (r s ¼.49, p < .01) and dysphagia (r s ¼.38, p < .05). However, when these variables were added as predictors of CES-D into a regression model (R 2 ¼ 0,80, p < 0,01) to assess their predictive power, none of them significantly predicted the depression score.Conclusions: Considering the above results, we concluded that depression was associated with quality of life in lung cancer patients with diabetes type 2.Legal entity responsible for the study: The authors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
