Timeframe: Baseline through day 5 of the first week of chemotherapy

Population: Intent-to-treat; 16 patients did not complete the study measure at baseline or on day 5 of the first week of chemotherapy

Overall mean change in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue score from baseline to day 5 of the first week of chemotherapy. The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item validated questionnaire assessing the impact of fatigue on an individual's quality of life. The raw score range is 0-52 with higher scores indicating better quality of life. The mean change from baseline to day 5 was calculated by subtracting the baseline score from mean of the day 1-5 scores, thus a negative mean change represents worsening in quality of life due to fatigue.
