abstract = {We compared fatigue severity in breast, prostate or
colorectal cancer survivors 5-16 years post-diagnosis with
cancer-free controls, and examined factors associated with
fatigue and its association with all-cause mortality in
survivors.Participants of the CAncEr Survivorship - A
multi-Regional (CAESAR) study completed the Fatigue
Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ) between 2009 and 2011. The
FAQ assesses affective, cognitive, and physical fatigue, and
sleep problems. We derived the odds of fatigue using
logistic regression with the 75th percentile of population
norms as the cut-off. All-cause mortality (up to end 2021)
was estimated using Cox regression models.The sample
comprised 6057 survivors, of whom approximately one-third
reported affective, cognitive, or physical fatigue.
Demographic (age, relationship), clinical (chemotherapy),
comorbidity (depression), lifestyle, and psychological
factors were associated with higher odds of fatigue symptoms
and total fatigue. Fatigue symptoms, predominantly physical
fatigue, were strongly associated with mortality (unadjusted
hazard ratios (HRs) ranged from 1.48 to 2.40). The HRs were
attenuated after adjustment for comorbidities and depressive
symptoms, although affective and physical fatigue remained
independent risk factors for mortality.Demographic,
clinical, comorbidity, lifestyle, and psychological factors
were associated with fatigue in long-term survivors.
Fatigued survivors have a higher mortality risk. Lowering
the burden of fatigue by a comprehensive approach might
result in better survival.},
