Longitudinal assessment of anxiety, depression, and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis.
Abstract
Objectives. No longitudinal studies have concurrently evaluated predictors of anxiety, depression, and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). This study determined factors that best predicted anxiety, depression, and fatigue in MS patients from a large pool of disease, cognitive, life‐event stressor (LES), psychosocial, life‐style, and demographic factors. Design. A 2‐year prospective longitudinal study evaluated predictors of psychological distress and fatigue in PwMS. Methods. One hundred and one consecutive participants with MS were recruited from two MS clinics in Sydney, Australia. LES, anxiety, depression, and fatigue were assessed at baseline and at 3‐monthly intervals for 2‐years. Disease, cognitive, demographic, psychosocial, and life‐style factors were assessed at baseline. Patient‐reported relapses were recorded and corroborated by neurologists or evaluated against accepted relapse criteria. Results. Depression strongly predicted anxiety and fatigue, and anxiety and fatigue strongly predicted later depression. Psychological distress (i.e. anxiety, depression) was also predicted by a combination of unhealthy behaviours (e.g. drug use, smoking, no exercise, or relaxation) and psychological factors (e.g. low optimism, avoidance coping), similar to the results of community‐based studies. However, state‐anxiety and fatigue were also predicted by immunotherapy status, and fatigue was also predicted by LES and demographics. Conclusions. These results suggest that similar factors might underpin psychological distress and fatigue in MS patients and community‐well samples, although MS treatment factors may also be important. These results might assist clinicians in determining which MS patients are at greatest risk of developing anxiety, depression, or fatigue.

“It has also been shown that depression in MS is strongly related to lower quality of life, cognitive dysfunction, elevated suicide risk and fatigue (Fruehwald et al., 2001; Brown et al., 2009; Patrick et al., 2009; Fiest et al., 2016; Boeschoten et al., 2017), which is one of the most commonly reported and debilitating symptoms of MS (Wallin et al., 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
