A Systematic Review of the Scales Used for the Measurement of CRF on 2009-03-25

- Self-assessment scales originally validated in cancer patients and/or
  subsequently widely used in cancer populations (n > 50
  patients).
- Scales must have been used in a second test population for independent
  validation of their use in cancer patients.
- 90% of participants must be >18 years.
- Scales obtained a minimum quality score. The paper describing the scale must
  have contained information on at least three of the following: internal
  consistency, test-retest reliability, known group validity (discriminant
  validity), responsiveness to change or convergent validity (against other
  scales).

populations of cancer patients were divided into three groups:

A Systematic Review of the Scales Used for the Measurement of CRF on 2009-03-25

Unidimensional scales are the easiest to administer and have been most widely
used. The authors recommend the use of the EORTC QLQ C30 fatigue subscale or the
FACT F. The FQ gives a multidimensional assessment and has also been widely
used. A substantial minority of the scales identified have not been used
extensively or sufficiently validated in cancer patients and cannot be
recommended for routine use without further validation.

- The European Association of Palliative Care has developed a working
  definition^[6] of CRF on the basis of the European Organisation for
  Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ C30).
  This defines fatigue as a subjective feeling of tiredness, weakness or lack of
  energy.
- no universally accepted definition.
