Primary outcome measure(s)
Pediatric (Paediatric) Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy -Fatigue — Last 7 days. The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) is a 13-item instrument used to evaluate fatigue levels in individuals. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate lower levels of fatigue and better functional status.
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale) — Last 1 month. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale) is an 18-item instrument used to assess multidimensional fatigue in children. The scale consists of three subscales: General Fatigue, Sleep/Rest Fatigue, and Cognitive Fatigue. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale and transformed to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores indicate lower levels of fatigue and better functioning. The minimum possible score is 0 and the maximum possible score is 100.
