Levels of fatigue
End point description
The Quality-of-Life (QoL) instrument FACIT-Fatigue scale version 4 was utilised to collect QoL data. The scoring guideline for the FACIT-Fatigue scale version 4 instrument was used to calculate the QoL score; per the corresponding scoring guideline, scores can range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating improvement in fatigue. Data reported indicate change of FACIT-Fatigue Scores Between Baseline at several time points.
