Clinical measures for general fatigue in non-oncologic medical conditions.


Clinical Measure
Fatigue Dimension(s) Medical Condition(s) Statistical Findings
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) General Fatigue Fibromyalgia (Ablin et al., 2010; Ericsson et al., 2013) N/A
Numerical Rating Scales (NRS) General Fatigue Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (Zangi et al., 2012) N/A
Fatigue Catastrophizing Scale General Fatigue Crohn's Disease (van Erp et al., 2017) N/A
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) General Fatigue Myotonic Dystrophy (Baldanzi et al., 2017) Total FSS score (mean ​± ​sd) was 43.6 ​± ​12.4 and was significantly associated to: total muscle impairment as assessed by the Medical Research Council (r ​= ​−0.496; p ​= ​0.01); handgrip maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) at baseline (r ​= ​
−0.583; p ​< ​0.01); MVC_60% (r ​= ​−0.534; p ​< ​0.05).

Note. Column sorting order: For “Clinical Measure,” the most frequently used clinical measure was listed first with the others based on descending frequency. Columns for “Fatigue Dimension(s),” “Medical Condition(s),” and “Statistical Findings” have an A – Z sorting order.N/A ​= ​no statistical findings for domain differentiation reported in included articles.
