Comparing survival rates for clusters of depressive symptoms found by Network analysis' community detection algorithms: Results from a prospective population-based study among 9774 cancer survivors from the PROFILES-registry

CONCLUSION: Separate clusters of symptoms that correspond with motivational and consummatory anhedonia and negative affect can be distinguished and anhedonia may be associated with mortality more than negative affect. Looking at particular (clusters of) depressive symptoms may be more informative and clinically relevant than using depression as a single construct (i.e. syndrome).PMID:37608462 | DOI:10.1111/bjc.12435
