The current study investigated the association of symptom severity with the diagnosis of delirium and short-term survival. Methods: In this secondary analysis of a prospective randomized study of delirium among advanced cancer patients in the ED, in which symptoms were assessed by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI), we analyzed the distribution of MDASI item scores by 90-day mortality (Kolmogorov\u2013Smirnov), the association of MDASI item scores with short-term mortality (logistic regression models), and the symptoms in those with or without delirium (Mann\u2013Whitney U test or chi-square test). Results: Of the 243 patients included, 222 (91.4%) had complete MDASI scores. The MDASI median symptom scores for pain, fatigue, and interference with work were the highest. A significant difference in MDASI item score distribution with 90-day mortality was observed for fatigue (p = 0.018), shortness of breath (p &lt; 0.001), difficulty remembering (p = 0.038), lack of appetite (p = 0.035), drowsiness (p &lt; 0.001), feeling sad (p = 0.031), and interference with walking (p &lt; 0.001). In multivariable logistic regression models, shortness of breath (adjusted OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.04\u20131.26, p = 0.005) and drowsiness (adjusted OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.05\u20131.33, p = 0.008) were associated with 90-day mortality, adjusting for age, race, performance status, and cancer type. The median total MDASI score was significantly higher in patients with delirium than in those without (88, IQR 83\u2013118 vs. 80, IQR 55\u2013104; p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with advanced cancer presenting to the ED had severe symptoms, some of which were associated with shorter survival. These findings underscore the necessity of systematic symptom assessment, focusing on shortness of breath, drowsiness, fatigue, difficulty remembering, lack of appetite, feeling sad, and feeling distressed, to enhance clinical decision-making and improve the care of patients with advanced cancer. Additional longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the improvement in symptoms and quality of life for these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16233988","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]],"date-time":"2024-11-28T03:21:23Z","timestamp":1732764083000},"page":"3988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Severity of Symptoms as an Independent Predictor of Poor Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Cancer Presenting to the Emergency Department: Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Randomized Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0063-8461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aiham","family":"Qdaisat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4870-4561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Stroh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4500-6476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cielito","family":"Reyes-Gibby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monica K.","family":"Wattana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9803-0456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jayne","family":"Viets-Upchurch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8359-0533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ziyi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valda D.","family":"Page","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huda","family":"Fatima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5914-6712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Chaftari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5179-4088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Elsayem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"Cd012780","article-title":"The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of hospital-based specialist palliative care for adults with advanced illness and their caregivers","volume":"9","author":"Bajwah","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst.
