Fig. 1 Percentage of patients for which the respective symptom was stable (percentages based on patients who were assessed across the first three or all time points: n = 102). A symptom was defined as stable when it was rated present (rated with “little” or above) at a minimum of three consecutive time points.

Fig. 2 Priority in symptom management: The more a symptom or SC is placed in the upper right, the higher its priority in symptom management. Severity can take values between 1 and 4; regression coefficients are reported as absolute values. SC EX = exhausted symptom cluster (rest-weak-tired-dyspnea-appetite); SC AF = affective symptom cluster (worried-tense-irritable-depressed); SC GI = gastrointestinal symptom cluster (nausea-vomiting).
