The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with CRF among cancer patients in China. Methods. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with CRF among cancer patients in eastern China, regardless of their diagnoses. Data were collected by using a questionnaire survey (including demographic information and brief fatigue inventory) after informed written consent was obtained. A chi-square test was used to analyze the correlations between single categorical factors and CRF, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of potential risk factors with the presence of CRF.
