“…Fatigue is a common complaint for people with chronic illness seen in rehabilitation settings and a potential cause of disability in may disease processes such as cerebral palsy, 11 cardiopulmonary disease, 12 rheumatology, 13 stroke, 14 and multiple sclerosis. 15 Using cancer as an example, depending on the criterion and the assessment tools being used, the prevalence rates ranged from 18% to 96%.…”

Objective To illustrate how measurement practices can be advanced using as an example the fatigue item bank (FIB) and its applications (short-forms and computerized adaptive test) that were developed via the NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cooperative Group. Design Psychometric analysis of data collected by an internet survey company using Item Response Theory (IRT) related techniques. Setting A United States general population representative sample collected via internet. Participants 803 respondents used for dimensionality evaluation of the PROMIS FIB and 14,931 respondents used for item calibrations Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures 112 fatigue items developed by the PROMIS fatigue domain working group, 13-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, and 4-item SF-36 Vitality scale. Results The PROMIS FIB version 1 which consists of 95 items demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) showed consistently better precision than short-forms. However, all three short-forms showed good precision for the majority of participants, in that more than 95% of sample could be precisely measured with a reliability greater than 0.9. Conclusions Measurement practice can be advanced by using a psychometrically sound measurement tool and its applications. This example shows that CAT and short-forms derived from the PROMIS FIB can reliably estimate fatigue reported by the US general population. Evaluation in clinical populations is warranted before the item bank can be used for clinical trials.

“…4,13 As with chronic pain, evaluating and treating this symptom are of primary clinical importance. 11,50 Analyses of pooled data from 3109 patients in 3 large placebocontrolled studies confirmed the importance of fatigue as a core symptom of fibromyalgia. Mean MFI scores at baseline suggested that these fibromyalgia patients had similar or higher fatigue levels than did patients with RA, 31Y34 ankylosing spondylitis, 35 Sjögren syndrome, 31,33 SLE, 36 or CFS, 23 further underscoring the importance of managing this core fibromyalgia symptom.…”

“…60 It should be noted that although medication choice is an important consideration when managing fatigue in fibromyalgia, patients may also benefit from nonpharmacologic approaches such as better sleep hygiene, exercise, and cognitive behavioral therapy. 11,50 Because fatigue, like other fibromyalgia symptoms, varies widely among individual patients, a tailored approach is usually recommended in treating this complex disorder. 61 Keeping patients actively involved with their treatment and reassuring them that their fatigue and other symptoms can be managed are also important management strategies that need to be considered.…”

Um sorriso no rosto e os punhos cerrados que a luta não para. Um brilho nos olhos Que é para rastrear os inimigos. Mesmo com medo, enfrente-os. É necessário o coração em chamas Para manter sonhos aquecidos. Acenda fogueiras." Sérgio Vaz DEDICATÓRIA Dedico esta tese primeiramente a minha pessoa, durante todo meu percurso humano e profissional fui subestimado, subvalorizado, questionado numerosas vezes sobre minha capacidade e, mesmo assim, persisti, trabalhei arduamente, abdiquei de tempo e pessoas, dediquei a suprir lacunas técnicas e científicas, resisti à fadiga de acordar continuamente às 3 horas de madrugada e mantive um desempenho digno de excelência, resisti e enfrentei desafios os quais até hoje não compreendo exatamente como os desenrolei com tanta eficiência e maestria. À minha mãe Eliza Rodrigues de Almeida Missé e ao meu pai João Ramos Missé por sempre acreditarem, contribuírem, sem compreender exatamente o significado de um título acadêmico e seu impacto social, mesmo assim, apostaram seus esforços sem questionar os resultados potenciais desses esforços. Ao meu irmão Danilo Flávio Missé, o qual sempre dispôs seu tempo para auxiliar no que fosse necessário. Sem vocês nada disso seria possível. Ao meu segundo pai Prof. Dr. Samuel Katsuyuki Shinjo, a principal referência em empatia, resiliência, comprometimento e pontualidade. Assim como outros alunos do laboratório, carrego competências sociais e científicas as quais têm exercido um papel fundamental em nossas vidas sociais e profissionais. Seu comprometimento ativo com nossa formação foi fundamental neste processo.À Francine Santana da Conceição, por constituir minha principal referência em determinação, aprendi contigo que não há entraves capazes de impedir a chama de um sonho. À Thais Apolinário, por constituir um exemplo de lealdade à base, aprendi contigo a relevância de sempre manter a lealdade própria.
