Mean scores for Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis Fatigue, the 12-Item Short Form Survey, Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue, and the Visual Analog Scale by country at baseline
| Country | Mean Scores (SD) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12-Item Short Form Survey, n=240a | Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue, n=245b | Visual Analog Scale, n=485c | Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis Fatigue, n=485d | ||
| Mental Composite Score | Physical Composite Score | ||||
| United Kingdom, n=303 | 46.41 (11.71) | 36.65 (9.19) | 26.34 (12.88) | 4.83 (2.68) | 5.22 (2.54) |
| Australia, n=106 | 48.33 (12.84) | 41.53 (9.88) | 30.59 (12.23) | 4.90 (2.70) | 4.29 (2.23) |
| Romania, n=76 | 51.69 (10.21) | 41.90 (8.20) | 35.44 (11.38) | 3.86 (2.67) | 3.84 (2.37) |
The 12-Item Short Form Survey (mental composite score and physical composite score) scores range from zero to 100, where higher scores indicate better functioning.
Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue scores range from zero to 52, where higher scores indicate better functioning/less fatigue.
The Visual Analog Scale scores range from zero to ten, where higher scores indicate higher fatigue.
Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis Fatigue scores range from zero to nine, where higher scores indicate higher worse functioning/greater fatigue.
