Information on nine symptoms was collected, defined as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, body ache, and headache.
The PHQ-9 is a nine-item scale with items scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day) on nine symptoms of depression.
The main limitation is that we did not have a clinical diagnosis of nipple/breast thrush and had to use a case definition based on two symptoms to estimate this condition.
Women also scored more highly on two symptoms from the "excitement/hostile cluster"; uncooperativeness and motor hyperactivity, a fact that is mirrored in their more frequent involvement in aggressive behavior.
It scores the patient on nine symptoms (palpitations, preference for heat, preference for cold, appetite change, weight change, diaphoresis, fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, and nervousness) and ten signs (palpable thyroid, bruit over the thyroid gland, exophthalmos, lid retraction, lid lag, hyperkinetic movements, fine finger tremor, hot and moist hands, tachycardia, and atrial fibrillation).
We hypothesized that older patients would have significantly lower ratings on four symptom dimensions.
The measure reports on nine symptom characteristics, these being: somatization, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, depression, anxiety, paranoid ideation, phobic anxiety and psychoticism.
The Chinese version of the 17-item Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Civilian Version (C-PCL-C) [ 22] was used to elicit self-reports from respondents on three symptom clusters of PTSD (DSM-IV-TR) [ 23], namely re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal, in the preceding month.
You will probably find that working on one symptom at a time is much easier than trying to do them all.
No study found statistically significant effects on these five symptoms.
