“…A difference of 3-4 units is considered a minimal clinically important difference [12]. In addition, breast cancer patients in our study had a lower mean ± SD FACIT-fatigue score (35.33 ± 10.84) than those reported for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (38.9 ± 11.0) and psoriatic arthritis (35.8 ± 12.4) [8,12]. …”

“…The FACIT-fatigue scale has reasonable evidence of validation in a variety of populations, including patients with rheumatoid arthritis [6,7], psoriatic arthritis [8], chronic immune thrombocytopenia [9], Parkinson's disease [10,11], inflammatory bowel disease [12], and systemic lupus erythematosus [13,14], anemic patients with cancer [15,16], as well as the general United States population [17]. It has shown excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability and also has strong associations with other fatigue measurement tools and with active disease characteristics.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Functional Assessment of Chronic illnesses Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-fatigue subscale) in Iran. Methods: The Persian version of the FACIT-fatigue scale was developed using the forward-backward translation method. The questionnaire was then presented to a consecutive sample of breast cancer patients (n = 208) attending the Iranian Center of Breast Cancer (ICBC). The reliability was assessed by internal consistency and test-retest using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. Convergent validity was examined by correlation between the FACIT-fatigue scale and the Hospital and Depression Scale (HADS). In addition, discriminant validity was evaluated by the ability of the scale to differentiate between patients who differed in disease stage. Results: The internal consistency of the questionnaire was excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.92). The ICC for the FACIT-fatigue was 0.84. Strong correlations were observed between FACIT-fatigue and depression (r = -0.69) and anxiety (r = -0.72) scores. The FACIT-fatigue discriminated well between subgroups of patients who differed in stage (p < 0.001) and probable caseness of anxiety and depression disease (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Iranian version of the FACIT-fatigue subscale is a valid and reliable instrument to measure fatigue in cancer patients.

“…These findings are analogous with those of several previous studies in which only subjective disease activity scales were applied. [22][23][24][25] Patients with more extensive disease, indicating elevated disease burden, had higher fecal calprotectin levels. However, neither widespread disease nor high calprotectin levels were associated with higher fatigue scores, pointing to a discrepancy between the severity of fatigue and objective markers of inflammation and disease activity.…”

RESULTATER 28 av i alt 156 artikler ble inkludert. 13 ulike instrumenter for å måle fatigue og 11 mål på sykdomsaktivitet ble anvendt i de ulike studiene. Fatigue forekommer hyppigere hos dem som er rammet av inflammatorisk tarmsykdom (22 -77 %) enn i normalbefolkningen (2 -12 %). Aktiv sykdom og depresjon er assosiert med høyere grad av fatigue.FORTOLKNING Fatigue er et betydelig problem ved inflammatorisk tarmsykdom, og forekomsten og mulige risikofaktorer varierer fordi det er benyttet ulike mål for grad av utmattelse/fatigue og sykdomsaktivitet i heterogene studiepopulasjoner.

Validation of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy‐Fatigue (FACIT‐F) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract: SUMMARY BackgroundMany patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) complain of significant fatigue. To date, no instrument to measure fatigue has been validated in a US inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population.
