1. Identify distinct patient subgroups based on severity of symptoms using hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and latent profile analysis (LPA) and assess concordance between the two methods.
2. Examine if selected person-, disease-, and environment characteristics predict subgroup membership.
3. Explicate patients' lived experience of symptom clusters (SCs).
