de Hond A, van Buchem M, Fanconi C, Roy M, Blayney D, Kant I, Steyerberg E, Hernandez-Boussard T. Predicting Depression Risk in Patients With Cancer Using Multimodal Data: Algorithm Development Study. JMIR Med Inform 2024; 12:e51925. [PMID: 38236635 PMCID: PMC10835583 DOI: 10.2196/51925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cancer starting systemic treatment programs, such as chemotherapy, often develop depression. A prediction model may assist physicians and health care workers in the early identification of these vulnerable patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a prediction model for depression risk within the first month of cancer treatment. METHODS We included 16,159 patients diagnosed with cancer starting chemo- or radiotherapy treatment between 2008 and 2021. Machine learning models (eg, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator [LASSO] logistic regression) and natural language processing models (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers [BERT]) were used to develop multimodal prediction models using both electronic health record data and unstructured text (patient emails and clinician notes). Model performance was assessed in an independent test set (n=5387, 33%) using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis to assess initial clinical impact use. RESULTS Among 16,159 patients, 437 (2.7%) received a depression diagnosis within the first month of treatment. The LASSO logistic regression models based on the structured data (AUROC 0.74, 95% CI 0.71-0.78) and structured data with email classification scores (AUROC 0.74, 95% CI 0.71-0.78) had the best discriminative performance. The BERT models based on clinician notes and structured data with email classification scores had AUROCs around 0.71. The logistic regression model based on email classification scores alone performed poorly (AUROC 0.54, 95% CI 0.52-0.56), and the model based solely on clinician notes had the worst performance (AUROC 0.50, 95% CI 0.49-0.52). Calibration was good for the logistic regression models, whereas the BERT models produced overly extreme risk estimates even after recalibration. There was a small range of decision thresholds for which the best-performing model showed promising clinical effectiveness use. The risks were underestimated for female and Black patients. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated the potential and limitations of machine learning and multimodal models for predicting depression risk in patients with cancer. Future research is needed to further validate these models, refine the outcome label and predictors related to mental health, and address biases across subgroups.

Kuswanto CN, Sharp J, Stafford L, Schofield P. Fear of cancer recurrence as a pathway from fatigue to psychological distress in mothers who are breast cancer survivors. Stress Health 2023; 39:197-208. [PMID: 35751136 PMCID: PMC10084015 DOI: 10.1002/smi.3180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Fatigue is prevalent and pervasive among breast cancer survivors. Mothers are particularly susceptible to fatigue due to the ongoing demands of their caring role. While fatigue has been associated with psychological distress in prior research, the pathway by which fatigue translates into psychological distress is unclear. Given the theoretical and empirical links between fatigue, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and psychological distress, the role of FCR in mediating the relationship between fatigue and psychological distress in mothers who are breast cancer survivors was investigated. Ninety-two mothers who were breast cancer survivors completed the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, PROMIS-Cancer Fatigue Short Form and Concerns About Cancer Recurrence scale in an online survey. Mediation analysis via PROCESS was used to examine whether fatigue predicted depression, anxiety or stress through FCR. Fear of cancer recurrence mediated the relationships between fatigue and anxiety and fatigue and stress, while fatigue directly predicted depression. This study highlights FCR as a potential pathway to anxiety and stress in response to ongoing fatigue, and as a mechanism of action to reduce psychological distress among mothers who are breast cancer survivors. Future research examining this pathway from fatigue to psychological distress should also explore the nature of mothers' fears about their cancer recurring.

Examining the relationship between severe persistent mental illness and surgical outcomes in women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer. Am J Surg 2022:S0002-9610(22)00827-3. [PMID: 36588017 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2022.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe persistent mental illness (SPMI) is associated with worse outcomes in cancer patients. Less is known about the relationship between SPMI and surgical outcomes after mastectomy for breast cancer. METHODS We selected patients with breast cancer and SPMI from the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2018) and used propensity score matching. We then used multivariate analysis, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and conditional logistic regression to compare demographics and outcomes. RESULTS The study sample consisted of 670 patients: 536 without SPMI and 134 with SPMI. SPMI was associated with bilateral mastectomy (bilateral: 53% vs. unilateral: 42.7%, p = 0.033) and decreased frequency of breast reconstruction (p < 0.001). SPMI was associated with more extended hospitalization (4 days vs. 2 days, p < 0.001) and increased risk of developing post-procedural infection and sepsis (OR 2.909). CONCLUSIONS SPMI is associated with bilateral mastectomy, more extended hospitalization, and increased risk for post-procedural infection and sepsis - suggesting the need for increased use of standardized screening tools to identify SPMI in patients and inform perioperative management correctly.

Abstract
Importance Breast cancer (BC) diagnosis and treatment expose patients to a 5-fold higher risk of depression compared with the general population, with an estimated prevalence of 10% to 25%. A depressive episode in patients with BC has implications for the tolerance of and adherence to treatment, impairing quality of life and reducing life expectancy. Objective To identify and characterize distinct longitudinal patterns of depressive symptoms in patients with BC from diagnosis to 3 years after treatment. Design, Settings, and Participants The CANTO-DEePRESS (Deeper in the Understanding and Prevention of Depression in Breast Cancer Patients) cohort study included women in the French multicenter CANTO (CANcer TOxicities) cohort study (conducted between March 20, 2012 and December 11, 2018), who were 18 years or older with invasive stage I to III BC and no previous BC treatment. The study aimed to characterize toxicities over a 5-year period following stage I to III primary BC treatment. Assessments of depressive symptoms were performed on a subset of patients with available data at diagnosis and at least 2 other time points. All data were extracted from the CANTO database on October 1, 2020. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the level of depressive symptoms at each assessment time point measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and depression subscale at BC diagnosis and at 3 to 6, 12, and 36 months after the end of treatment. The group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify trajectory groups, and multinomial logistic regression models were used to characterize the following factors associated with trajectory group affiliation: demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, lifestyle, and quality-of-life data. Results A total of 4803 women (mean [SD] age, 56.2 [11.2] years; 2441 patients [50.8%] with stage I BC) were included in the study. Six trajectory groups that described the heterogeneity in the expression of depressive symptoms were identified: noncases with no expression of symptoms (n = 2634 [54.8%]), intermediate worsening (1076 [22.4%]), intermediate improvement (480 [10.0%]), remission (261 [5.4%]), delayed occurrence (200 [4.2%]), and stable depression (152 [3.2%]). HADS-D scores at diagnosis were consistently associated with the 5 depressive trajectory group affiliations, with an estimated higher probability per point increase of experiencing subthreshold or clinically significant depressive symptoms between diagnosis and the 3 years after the end of BC treatment. The higher probabilities ranged from 1.49 (95% CI, 1.43-1.54) for the intermediate worsening group to 10.53 (95% CI, 8.84-12.55) for the stable depression group. Trajectory groups with depressive symptoms differed from the noncases group without symptoms by demographic and clinical factors, such as having dependent children, lower household income, cancer stage, family history of BC, previous psychiatric hospitalizations, obesity, smoking status, higher levels of fatigue, and depression at diagnosis. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, nearly a third of patients with BC experienced temporary or lasting significant depressive symptoms during and after treatment. Improving early identification of women at risk of developing long-term or delayed depression is therefore critical to increase quality of life and overall survival. Subjected to validation, this study is an important first step toward personalized care of patients with BC at risk of depression.

Abstract
Chronic diseases commonly entail disability and are highly comorbid with mental health problems, particularly depression. Prevalence of depression across different disabling conditions affecting adult patients, as well as risk factors for depression in these patient groups are reviewed in the current work, with a particular focus on the literature published in the past 5 years. The prevalence of depression in disabling conditions is higher than in the general population and is associated with different factors. Examples of disease-specific factors include neurological implications of stoke, diabetic related conditions (e.g. amputation), limitations imposed by vision loss caused by age-related eye diseases, fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis, and pain in cancer. Common factors identified across different conditions include pre-morbid depression, history of mental health problems, poor social support, disease-related disability, multi-morbidity, and less adaptive coping strategies. We also reviewed studies suggesting a potential bidirectional relationship between depression and chronic disease, particularly for stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and potential factors mediating that relationship. Current findings suggested that long-term depression might be associated with an increased risk of subsequent physical health problems, although the nature of that relationship and its underlying mechanisms are still unclear.

Abstract
Aim This paper aims to identify factors that influence the psychological wellbeing of patients newly diagnosed with localized breast cancer. Background Psychological wellbeing plays a significant part in the personal experience of patients during their cancer journey. However, despite progress in treatments and outcomes in breast cancer, psychosocial services and emotional support of cancer patients have been given less attention. Materials and methods Data were collected through a retrospective review of 274 charts of women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2012 and 2017 that received care in a single cancer center. Disease specific parameters, social and demographic variables, and Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) scores were extracted from the patient charts. Results Self-reported scores of psychological-related symptoms were low (suggesting no or minimal psychological distress) at baseline and remained low in the majority of patients with breast cancer. Pain, depression, anxiety and wellbeing scores of 0-2 were observed in 78.5%, 81.4%, 63.5% and 70.1% of patients, respectively. Higher scores of anxiety at baseline were observed in patients with physical restrictions on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) (14.9%), current smoking (20.5%) and history of mental illness (19.1%). Increasing scores for pain were observed in older patients during treatment as compared to baseline. Mastectomy was associated with increased scores for wellbeing (worsening wellbeing) as compared to lumpectomy. Of the patients with a history of mental illness (17.3%), 19.1% had more often increased scores for anxiety. Conclusions The findings highlight patients that may benefit from additional social and psychological supports at diagnosis and while undergoing treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivorship care plans (SCPs) have been used to address ongoing health problems associated with the diagnosis and treatment of early-stage breast cancer. OBJECTIVES The aim of this article was to determine whether nurse-led consultations using SCPs, as compared with a standard medical consultation, identify more side effects and supportive care needs and lead to appropriate referral patterns. METHODS The study audited 160 retrospective medical clinic and nursing SCP records in a sample of patients receiving treatment for early-stage breast cancer at a tertiary-level breast service in Australia. FINDINGS Breast care nurses (BCNs) undertaking SCPs at a nurse-led consultation were significantly more likely than physicians to record symptoms related to menopausal/hormonal therapy, psychosocial/mental health, lifestyle, bone health, and sexuality. BCNs were also significantly more likely to refer patients for concerns related to psychosocial/mental health, lifestyle, and sexuality.

Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment often produce stress in patients. Anxiety is one of the most prevalent psychological symptoms perceived by breast cancer patients. This study aims to evaluate the temporal patterns of anxiety and find factors associated with persistent anxiety during breast cancer treatment. Methods This is prospective cohort study. Between July 2010 and July 2011, we recruited patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer who were expected to receive adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 411) from 2 cancer hospitals in Seoul, Korea. Anxiety was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results The mean age of the participants was 46.4 ± 7.9 years. Preoperatively, 44.5% (183 of 411) of the patients showed abnormal anxiety. The proportion of the abnormal anxiety group significantly decreased after surgery (P < 0.01) and this phenomenon continued until the 12-month follow-up point. Patients experienced renewed anxiety at 12 months when the main adjuvant therapies were finished. Socioeconomic factors were not associated with persistent anxiety. Pain, breast, and arm symptoms were significantly higher in the persistently abnormal group, especially at postoperative months 6 and 12. Conclusion Surgery was a major relieving factor of anxiety, and patients who finished their main adjuvant treatment experienced renewed anxiety. Surgeons should be the main detectors and care-givers with respect to psychological distress in breast cancer patients. To reduce persistent anxiety, caring for the patient's physical symptoms is important.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our study provides data on depression and anxiety in long-term cancer survivors, in men, women and various age groups, as well as identifies associated factors and coping-related resources. METHODS We present data obtained from 1002 cancer survivors across a large variety of tumour entities 5 years (cohort 1) and 10 years (cohort 2) after diagnosis, in a cross-sectional study. We analysed depression (PHQ-9) and anxiety (GAD-7) symptomatology in comparison with two large age- and sex-matched samples randomly selected from the general population. RESULTS Moderate to severe depression and anxiety were reported in 17% and 9% of cancer survivors, respectively. There were no significant differences between the 5 years and 10 years after diagnosis cohorts (p = 0.232). In both cohorts, we found higher depression and anxiety in women than in men (p < 0.001), and lower depression and anxiety in elderly patients (p < 0.001). Cancer survivors younger than 60 years of age were more depressed and anxious than the general population (p < 0.001). The variables, financial problems (Beta = 0.16, p < 0.001), global quality of life (Beta = - 0.21, p < 0.001) and cognitive function (Beta = - 0.30, p < 0.001), had the strongest association with depression and anxiety. CONCLUSIONS For the prevention of depression and anxiety in long-term cancer survivors, individual treatment of physical and psychological symptoms is as important as social support and professional counselling. Post-treatment, cognitive limitations should be carefully assessed in long-term cancer survivorship to distinguish them from symptoms of a mental disorder, especially since younger cancer survivors of working age and female survivors seem to be more affected by depression and anxiety.

[PMID: 31084282 PMCID: PMC6535702 DOI: 10.1177/1745506519846747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2018] [Revised: 01/16/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Attitudes to aging have been linked with important health outcomes. It is unclear whether interventions to improve attitudes to aging are effective across cultural contexts. This study investigated the efficacy of an intervention among women of either Australian or Chinese backgrounds. METHODS Among 96 women who provided baseline measures, 86 attended a single, 90-min group session on either healthy aging or healthy diet. Measures of three domains of attitudes to aging were collected at baseline, then immediately and 8 weeks after the intervention. RESULTS The intervention improved attitudes in the psychological growth domain, but not the physical change or psychosocial loss domains. Cultural identification did not moderate intervention efficacy. DISCUSSION The findings suggest that brief, culturally inclusive interventions may be partially effective at improving attitudes to aging. Furthermore, research is needed to investigate if the intervention would be more effective when baseline attitudes to aging are less positive.

Abstract
Objective: Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) is a perceived positive change after a stressful situation. Studies describe different predictors of PTG. The purpose of this study was to (1) review the evidence that rumination and social support are predictors of PTG; (2) analyze the results of the screened studies. Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching for articles with quantitative or mixed methods that evaluated PTG using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, rumination and/or social support in women with breast cancer. Results: Were identified twelve articles that corresponded to the inclusion criteria. All of them reported some degree of PTG in their samples. Rumination was evaluated in three studies, social support was evaluated in ten, and both were considered to have a positive correlation with PTG. Conclusions: This review concludes that rumination and social support are predictors of PTG in women with breast cancer. These results contribute to the development of new interventions in mental health.

Abstract
Objectives: to determine the quality of life and anxiety in patients with breast cancer and
the changes they experience after treatments. Method: prospective study. Breast cancer statistics (n=339, confidence=95%, accuracy= ±
5.32%). The quality of life questionnaires (QLQ) used were QLQ C-30 and QLQ Br23,
and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used for anxiety. A multivariate
analysis was performed to identify variables associated with baseline quality of
life and anxiety as well as pre- and post-treatment differences. Authorization was
obtained from the Ethics Committee, and informed consent was provided by all
patients. Results: the baseline quality of life dimensions with the lowest score were future
prospects (46.0/100) and sexual enjoyment (55.7/100). The dimensions with the
highest score were body image (94.2/100) and role (93.3/100). The most disturbing
symptoms were insomnia, fatigue and concern about hair loss. After treatment, the
dimensions of physical function, role, body image, financial concerns and
symptomatology worsened, whereas emotional function and future prospects improved.
Severe anxiety presented as a state (48.6%) and as a trait (18.2%). The highest
baseline state anxiety was associated with married-widowed status and anxiolytic
medication. The greatest trait anxiety was associated with an inactive work
situation, anxiolytic medication, breast swelling and advanced stage at diagnosis.
After treatment, anxiety significantly decreased. Conclusions: After treatment, the quality of life score was positively modified, while state
and trait anxiety decreased.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer experience emotional distress, such as sadness, worrying, and irritability. However, there is little information about the psychological well-being of parents at the time of their child's diagnosis. We sought to identify factors that were associated with emotional distress in cancer patients as a basis for developing innovative psychological interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed on patients newly diagnosed with cancer at a single center in Korea from 2014 to 2016. Eighty-five patients and their mothers completed psychological inventories. To determine factors associated with emotional distress in patients, we assessed the psychological inventory results using multiple linear regression after performing correlation analysis. RESULTS The maternal Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score was positively correlated with total problem scores and externalizing scores in patients aged less than 7 years. In patients aged 7-12 years, there was no significant association between the patient's emotional distress and other variables. In contrast, the maternal BDI-II score was the strongest factor associated with patient depression in adolescents. CONCLUSION We suggest that the most important factor affecting emotional distress in children and adolescents with cancer is maternal depression, especially in patients aged 1-6 years and aged 13-17 years. Understanding the factors associated with emotional distress of cancer patients allows us to develop early psychiatric interventions for patients and their parents at the initial psychological crisis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess the relation between cancer treatments and incident cognitive impairment in breast cancer patients, taking into account the levels of anxiety before treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study with 418 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with no cognitive impairment, defined as values at least 1.5 standard deviations below age- and education-adjusted cut-offs in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), at baseline. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and MoCA were used for evaluations before treatment and at 1-year after diagnosis. We used Poisson regressions to compute adjusted relative risks (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) to identify predictors of cognitive impairment. RESULTS The median (Percentile 25, Percentile 75) MoCA score before treatment was 24 (21, 26). A total of 8.1% (95%CI: 5.8, 11.2) of the patients presented incident cognitive impairment during the follow-up. There was a statistically significant interaction between anxiety at baseline and the effect of chemotherapy on the incidence of cognitive impairment (P for interaction = 0.028). There was a significantly increased risk of incident cognitive impairment among patients with no anxiety prior to treatment with schemes including doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (adjusted RR = 4.22, 95%CI: 1.22, 14.65). CONCLUSION There was a statistically significant association between chemotherapy and cognitive impairment, but only among women with no anxiety at baseline.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the metabolic brain network and its relationship with depression symptoms using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography data in 78 pre-chemotherapy cancer patients with depression and 80 matched healthy subjects. Functional and structural imbalance or disruption of brain networks frequently occur following chemotherapy in cancer patients. However, few studies have focused on the topological organization of the metabolic brain network in cancer with depression, especially those without chemotherapy. The nodal and global parameters of the metabolic brain network were computed for cancer patients and healthy subjects. Significant decreases in metabolism were found in the frontal and temporal gyri in cancer patients compared with healthy subjects. Negative correlations between depression and metabolism were found predominantly in the inferior frontal and cuneus regions, whereas positive correlations were observed in several regions, primarily including the insula, hippocampus, amygdala, and middle temporal gyri. Furthermore, a higher clustering efficiency, longer path length, and fewer hubs were found in cancer patients compared with healthy subjects. The topological organization of the whole-brain metabolic networks may be disrupted in cancer. Finally, the present findings may provide a new avenue for exploring the neurobiological mechanism, which plays a key role in lessening the depression effects in pre-chemotherapy cancer patients.
