Facilitating the interpretation of the multidimensional EORTC QLQ-FA12 fatigue questionnaire: Establishing thresholds for clinical importance
The analyses established TCIs for the three dimensions of the EORTC QLQ-FA12. TCIs can be used in research and clinical practice to facilitate interpretation of individual patient scores at a single point in time. TCIs may indicate which patients experience a fatigue level that warrants additional clinical attention.
