Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Self-report Questionnaire	Change from baseline to 3 months after surgery.	The study utilizes two instruments. First, the Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI) is used to assess fatigue; total scores range from 0 to 127, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue severity. Second, the Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ) comprises 16 items, with total scores ranging from 16 to 80.
