Overview
What is the PROMIS Fatigue 4a?
PROMIS Fatigue 4a is a brief fatigue self-report. In blood-testing clinic pathways it can sit beside other symptom measures. It does not determine which blood tests to order.

Methodology
Understand the measure and its scoring conventions
The raw score is the sum of the four items (4 to 20), and every item must be answered. Its category follows the published PROMIS Fatigue T-score cut points of 55, 60 and 70, read through the Fatigue 4a conversion table: within normal limits (raw 4 to 10), mild (11 to 13), moderate (14 to 18) and severe (19 to 20).
