How we calculate the fatigue score
The fatigue score is calculated as follows:
- For all questions, apart from numbers 7 & 8, we invert the score shown on the questionnaire, such that 4 (Very Much) is scored as zero points and 0 (Not at all) is scored as four points.
- We total up the scores to give a number out of 52, where a score of 52 suggests you are least fatigued.
