The concept of symptom burden has been incorporated in studies of symptoms and symptom management strategies for a variety of conditions such as cancer and other chronic illnesses.17 The product of frequency and severity has been incorporated as an outcome in clinical trials.18 We calculated symptom burden as the product of the frequency and bother rating of each symptom. Burden scores could range from 0 to 24, with more frequently experienced and most bothersome symptoms scoring highest.
