Description

Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of fatigue.

Methodology

Identified from intial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "fatigue" "tired" "weary" weariness" "lassitude" "asthenia" weak" "energy" "sluggish" "worn out" exhaust" "me/cfs" "myalgic enceph" "lethar" drows" " me " "me " "tatt" "m.e." "cfs"

Clearly irrelevant codes excluded (with review by a second clinician)

Candidate codelist uploaded to OpenCodelists for review of candidate codes.

Excluded codes related to drowsiness as this could be related to medication or other causes and does not necessarily imply fatigue.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
