“…The components of fatigue described as lack of motivation, energy, or unrestorative sleep may relate to depression, which was not measured. RA fatigue is associated with pain and depression, although studies vary in their conclusions and causality cannot always be implied (3,7). Up to 90% of patients with RA report fatigue (7) and the prevalence of depression is 17-53.5% (23); therefore, some overlap between fatigue and depression is possible in these participants, but systematic bias in selecting those with depression was unlikely.…”

“…However, unlike pain and disability, fatigue is rarely addressed as a treatment target in its own right, is infrequently reported separately in trials, and is not a recommended core outcome for clinical trials (1). Fatigue is a significant symptom experienced almost universally by patients with RA (88 -98%), often on a daily basis, and patients rate the impact and importance of fatigue as similar to pain (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…The primary outcome of this study, fatigue, was measured on the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) scale (9,10,31), the only RA-specific scale available at the time of the study design (32). The MAF comprises 16 questions that measure 4 dimensions of fatigue over the past week: severity, distress, impact/ interference, and timing.…”

“…The 106-item patient questionnaire included 5 validated health-related quality-of-life instruments: the EuroQol (EQ-5D), 19 the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), 20 the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF), 21 the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale, 22 and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). 23 Subject-specific pain associated with fibromyalgia over the previous 24 hours was assessed by a 1-item average pain question with an 11-point numeric rating scale.…”
