Associations of pretreatment emotional distress with adherence to therapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer: a post hoc analysis of the Chinese FOWARC phase 3 random... by Lishuo Shi, Jianwei Zhang, Yanhong Deng

“…Multivariable analyses showed that each 1-point increase in PED score raised non-adherence risk by 4.37 times (OR: 4.37, 95% CI: 1.92–9.96, P < 0.001). The SEM analysis revealed that PED score was positively correlated with the risk of non-adherence (standardized regression coefficients [β] = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.28), while economic burden was positively correlated with PED (β = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.28), and could indirectly affect adherence through PED (β = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.09). …”
