Introduction: The present study aims to examine the process of mutual influence in older couples with cancer diagnosis by studying their risk of depression.
Materials And Methods: 282 couples with one spouse diagnosed with cancer were selected from the Three-City cohort study. Dyadic analyses were used to determine whether trait anxiety affects the risk of depression and whether a mutual influence process occurs prior and post cancer diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- Older patients (≥60 years) with immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) show more severe symptoms and longer diagnosis times compared to younger patients (<60 years), including delirium and renal involvement.
- Short- and mid-term mortality rates are significantly higher in older iTTP patients, and age increases the risk of mortality by 10% for every decade.
- Long-term, older iTTP survivors face a mortality risk more than three times greater than that of non-iTTP elderly individuals, highlighting the severe impact of age on outcomes.
