Patients were categorized into high or low symptom distress groups based on ESAS physical, emotional, and total symptom scores. Multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, BMI, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and metastatic sites. Survival impact was quantified using restricted mean survival time (RMST) and hazard ratios (HR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 143 terminal cancer patients were included; 76 were males (53.15%) and the average age was 66.17\u2009\u00b1\u200912.11\u2009years. HRs for high physical, emotional, and total symptom distress scores (TSDS) were 1.50 (95% CI: 1.02\u20132.20), 1.02 (95% CI: 0.64\u20131.63), and 1.34 (95% CI: 0.91\u20131.97), respectively. Only the physical domain remained significant after adjustment. RMST demonstrated that patients with high physical burden experienced a significant survival reduction of 3.70\u2009days (95% CI: \u22127.17 to \u22120.23) within a 28\u2010day follow\u2010up period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>High physical symptom burden is significantly associated with shorter survival in terminal cancer patients.
