    The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a collection of quality of life questionnaires pertaining to the management of fatigue symptoms due to a chronic illness. The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the preceding 7 days. Participants score each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Total scores range from 0 to 52, with higher score indicating better quality of life.

    Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 21, 41, and 153

  8. Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 Scale (EORTC-QLQ-C30): Global Health Status/Qol Score at Weeks 21, 41, and 153

    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is comprised of 30 questions. First 28 questions used 4-point scale (1=not at all,2=a little,3=quite a bit,4=very much) for evaluating 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain) \& other single items. For each item, high score = high level of symptomatology/problem. Last 2 questions represented participant's assessment of overall health (global health status) and quality of life, coded on 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent). Answers were converted into grading scale, with total score between 0 and 100. A high score represented a favourable outcome with a best quality of life for participant.
