Symposium: Identifying symptom clusters in chronic illness

Abstract

Latent class analysis is able to identify three distinct lymphedema symptom classes with lower, moderate and severe symptom class. Identification of symptom classes is a priority to predict high-risk populations for physiologic outcomes of limb volume and lymph fluid level as well as daily function, social and affective wellbeing.
