They conclude that this method generates FSS that is similar to a low-magnitude, oscillatory FSS generated by the parallel-plate system.
By hypothetically changing these seven baseline FSS values to the lowest value of 1, the FSS difference would change from 0.15 to 0.50 (P = 0.006), which is still below the proposed MCID of 0.6 for FSS [ 24].
The proportion of patients for whom the FSS total score could be calculated and the mean FSS total scores were determined.
The FSS in PILLAR used a 14-day recall period, while FSS recall in ASPIRE was 'the past 7 days'.
Using a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for FSS of 0.6 [ 24], 35% of patients showed an FSS increase greater than this value.
Qualitative research on the FSS within CHC populations is needed to determine if the FSS item content is consistent with the patient experience in CHC.
By comparison, mean FSS scores indicating severe fatigue have been reported using the FSS in patients with MS (4.66) and SLE (4.7) [ 26].
Specifically, hope and optimism mediated the association between FSS and depressive symptoms, and self-efficacy mediated the FSS-anxiety symptoms association.
For type II dots, the FSS values are more widely spread with one QD having a large FSS of 53 μeV and a bunching around a mean FSS value of 7.9 μeV.
This suggests that patients with intraoperative capsule rupture are candidates for FSS; in contrast, preoperative rupture appeared to be one of the contraindicative factors for FSS.
Wrapper FSS cannot be used with unsupervised algorithms, but the results obtained using a different variable preselection method, the filter FSS, with hierarchical clustering point out the advantage of using this dimensionality reduction technique, compared to clustering with no FSS.
