HADS depression scores and several physical risk indicators predicted mortality. Independent effects could be observed for HADS item 1 ({"}Can enjoy things as much as before{"}) adjusted for physicians' ratings of prognosis, a principal diagnosis of hemato-oncological disease and Charlson comorbidity scores.
