The fatigue must have lasted for 6 months or longer, and be present at least 50% of the time; Other symptoms are possible, such as muscle pain, mood problems, or sleep disturbance; Conditions known to cause severe fatigue and some mental conditions exclude a diagnosis. Post-infectious fatigue syndrome also requires evidence of a prior infection ...
The following diagnostic systems and rating scales are used in psychiatry and clinical psychology.This list is by no means exhaustive or complete. For instance, in the category of depression, there are over two dozen depression rating scales that have been developed in the past eighty years.
Fatigue is currently measured by many different self-measurement surveys. [118] Examples are the Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI) [119] [120] [121] and the Fatigue Severity Scale. [122] [123] [124] There is no consensus on best practice, [125] and the existing surveys do not capture the intermittent nature of some forms of fatigue.
The original scale introduced by Gunnar Borg rated exertion on a scale of 6-20. Borg then constructed a newer category-ratio scale, the Borg CR-10 scale, rated on a scale from 1-10. This is especially used in clinical diagnosis and severity assessment of breathlessness and dyspnea, chest pain, angina and musculo-skeletal pain. The CR-10 scale ...
A pretest was conducted to determine the viability of the fatigue scale adopted during the test, called Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). The purpose of the validation survey was to set a benchmark (i.e. FSS=4) on an acceptable level of fatigue for the Portuguese culture. The scale ranged from 1 meaning no fatigue to 7 being high.
The book, which also refers to ME/CFS as "chronic fatigue/immune dysfunction syndrome," or CFIDS, describes Bell's CFIDS disability scale. [14] Various publications have used or proposed Bell's scale which is similar to the Karnofsky scale, for the documentation of severity of symptoms in chronic fatigue syndrome. [15] [16] [17] [18]

RAC CRTA–FMECA and MIL–HDBK–338 both identify Risk Priority Number (RPN) calculation as an alternate method to criticality analysis. The RPN is a result of a multiplication of detectability (D) x severity (S) x occurrence (O). With each on a scale from 1 to 10, the highest RPN is 10x10x10 = 1000.
