Background The management of physical symptoms and psychological distress of cancer patients is an important component of cancer care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the symptom burden, psychological distress, and management status of hospitalized patients with advanced cancer in China and explore the potential influencing factors of undertreatment and non-treatment of symptoms. Patients and methods A total of 2930 hospitalized patients with advanced cancer were recruited from 10 centers all over China. Patient-reported MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale , and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scales and symptom management–related information were collected and linked with the patient’s clinical data. The proportion of patients reporting moderate-to-severe symptoms and whether they were currently well managed were examined. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to explore the factors correlated to undertreatment and non-treatment of symptoms. Results About 27% of patients reported over three MS symptoms, 16% reported over five, and 9% reported over seven. Regarding psychological distress, the prevalence of HADS-anxiety was 29% and that of PHQ-9 depression was 11%. Sixty-one percent of patients have at least one MS symptom without any treatment. Sex [odds ratio = 2.238, 95% confidence interval 1.502-3.336], Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group , and whether currently undergoing anticancer treatment are the main factors correlated with the undertreatment of symptoms. Age , sex , ECOG , whether currently undergoing anticancer treatment , and comorbidity are the main factors correlated with the non-treatment of symptoms. Conclusions This study shows that hospitalized patients with advanced cancer had a variety of physical and psychological symptoms but lacked adequate management and suggests that a complete symptom screening and management system is needed to deal with this complex problem.收起
