“…Aspects of pain and its interference with daily life were measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) ( Cleeland and Ryan, 1994 ; Tan et al, 2004 ; Güngör et al, 2013 ) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v1.1—Pain Interference 8a (PI-8a) ( Amtmann et al, 2010 ; Cella et al, 2010 ; Rothrock et al, 2010 ). Fatigue and its impact on quality of life were measured using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) ( Mendoza et al, 1999 ; Shahid et al, 2012 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Ritchie et al, 2023 ) and the PROMIS Short Form v1.0—Fatigue 13a (FACIT-Fatigue) ( Lai et al, 2011 ; Cella et al, 2016 ). Here, pain and fatigue as measured by the BPI and BFI, respectively, were defined as no interference (0), mild (1–3), moderate (4–6), and severe (7–10) ( Serlin et al, 1995 ; Mendoza et al, 1999 ; Li et al, 2007 ; Deandrea et al, 2008 ; Shahid et al, 2012 ; Güngör et al, 2013 ; Liu et al, 2022 ; Ritchie et al, 2023 ).…”
