What was measured

Each MFSI-SF subscale consist of 6 items on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). The subscale scores were the sum of all six items. The scores were then converted to a 100-point scale, with higher numbers indicating less fatigue. Change from baseline to week 4 was calculated by subtracting the baseline scores from the scores at week 4.

Analysis population: Includes all participants who completed both baseline and week 4 assessments.
