Many measures confound definitions severity and impact and/or lack psychometric validation in MS.Objective:To evaluate properties an 11-item measure, Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ) including validity factor structure, internal reliability, discriminant sensitivity to change.Methods:Data were pooled from four previous studies investigating using CFQ (n=444). Data analysis included confirmatory determine structure model fit, correlations assess effects sizes change.Results:A bi-factor with general factor, incorporating two smaller group factors (mental physical fatigue) had good fit appeared appropriate underlying scal...
