Fatigue
Brief Fatigue Inventory. The BFI is a scale with 11 points (0 to 10), including a dichotomous question about whether the patient felt tired or fatigued in the last 7 days. For each question, zero is considered ''no fatigue'' and 10 is ''worst fatigue possible,'' except for the dichotomous question that is not scored. Among the other questions, 3 measures the severity of fatigue in the current, daily situations, and in the last 24 hours. Six questions measure the influence of fatigue in general activities, mood, walk, work, relationship with other people, and recreation. The total score is the average of all questions. According to the total score, fatigue is classified as mild (1 to 3 points), moderate (4 to 6 points), and severe (7 to 10 points).
