The Unidimensional Fatigue Impact Scale (U-FIS) is a disease specific patient-reported outcome measure which measures the impact of multiple sclerosis related fatigue[1]. It is a 22 item unidimensional scale which is based on needs-based quality of life theory[2].
Background
The U-FIS was developed by Galen Research and published in 2009[3]. It was derived from the Fatigue Impact Scale, a scale identified by the Multiple Sclerosis Council for Clinical Practice Guidelines “as the most appropriate for assessing the impact of MS-related fatigue on quality of life.”[4].
Data from the FIS went through Rasch analysis and additional items were added from interviews with multiple sclerosis patients. The U-FIS was then tested for validity via patient interviews and a validation survey[5].
International Use
The U-FIS has been translated and validated into eight different language versions: Canadian English, Canadian French, German, Swedish, Italian, French, US English and Spanish[6].
It has been recommended for use in determining fatigue impact by an independent meta analysis[7] and has also been utilized in a study investigating the role of neuroticism, perfectionism and depression in chronic fatigue syndrome[8].
