Risk Factors Associated With Distress Among Postoperative Patients in an Academic Gynecologic Oncology Practice

CONCLUSIONS: More than one-fourth of postoperative patients in a gynecologic oncology practice reported moderate or high distress. Distress was highest among those with malignancy regardless of disease site or surgical intervention. Benign pathology correlated with decreased distress. Identified associations with distress provide opportunities for prevention, early intervention, and tailored counseling.PMID:38364368 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2023.7093
