Scoring Methodology

Fatigue is rated on a single 0-10 numerical rating scale, where 0 represents no fatigue and 10 represents the worst fatigue imaginable. The score is stored directly from the slider response. Comments are free text and are not scored.

Scoring:
Lower is better

Meaningful Change Threshold

A change of 2 points on the 0-10 scale is generally considered clinically meaningful for patient-reported symptom measures.

Clinical Limitations & Considerations

This is a single-item symptom measure and does not distinguish physical from mental fatigue. It should be used alongside clinical assessment rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
