Patients in the different group were younger, had a higher proportion of cancer diagnoses, and reported significantly higher levels of pain, fatigue, bowel problems, and difficulty sleeping. In multivariate analysis, bowel problems were the only independent factor associated with being in the different group (odds ratio\u2009=\u20091.07; 95% confidence interval\u2009=\u20091.01\u20131.14;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.025).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients in the different group exhibited greater symptom burden compared to those in the similar group, particularly in pain, fatigue, and bowel problems.
