    The Chronic Fatigue Service run by East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) is closing

    I get the impression that services connected with CBT and GET therapies can sometimes be worse than nothing. Here is what the Barts service said on the draft NICE guidelines last time. This service replaced the Barts service: Barts and services linked to it such as an in Essex and Sussex...

    Physical activity at age 11 years and chronic disabling fatigue at ages 13 and 16 years in a UK birth cohort, 2018, Crawley et al

    Yes I'm sure it is something to do with that. However I'm trying to work out exactly what. It could be that boys are an average 100cpm more active though I'm not sure how this is used or adjusted for in the paper.

    Physical activity at age 11 years and chronic disabling fatigue at ages 13 and 16 years in a UK birth cohort, 2018, Crawley et al

    They only excluded people whose fatigue had lasted 5 years or more. There was a 2nd category they included: So people's fatigue at age 13 could have started before the age of 11 in which case it would not be surprising they might have been doing low activity levels. When they just restricted...

    Physical activity at age 11 years and chronic disabling fatigue at ages 13 and 16 years in a UK birth cohort, 2018, Crawley et al

    Not important, but I don't understand the underlined bit.

    Physical activity at age 11 years and chronic disabling fatigue at ages 13 and 16 years in a UK birth cohort, 2018, Crawley et al

    So as the authors say the definition at 16 years is more rigourous as it also requires the patients to report significant fatigue along with the parents' report.

    RCT of online continuing education for health professionals to improve the management of chronic fatigue syndrome: protocol (2017) Lloyd, Barry

    Keith Geraghty was one of the reviewers. The review history is 39 pages, though there is probably some duplication where the reviewers make the points and then the authors reiterate to reviewer points and then respond. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/7/5/e014133.reviewer-comments.pdf

    Just to point out that the actometer data was neither a primary nor a secondary outcome measure. There is a chance they might not have published it if it didn't suit. They used actometers in Nijhof et al. (2012) https://bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2377-11-23 but have never...
