Symptom documentation was generally more common in patients with severely bothersome symptoms. Intervention was not more common among those with increasing severity of bother due to fatigue, changes in hunger or anger, which were the most common severely bothersome symptoms. Future efforts should focus on facilitating intervention provision to patients with bothersome symptoms.
