Considerable discussion has transpired regarding whether chronic fatigue syndrome is a distinct illness from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. A prior study contrasted the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis International Consensus Criteria with the Fukuda and colleagues' chronic fatigue syndrome criteria and found that the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis International Consensus Criteria identified a subset of patients with greater functional impairment and physical, mental, and cognitive problems than the larger group who met Fukuda and colleagues' criteria. The current study analyzed two discrete data sets and found that the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis International Consensus Criteria identified more impaired individuals with more severe symptomatology.
关于慢性疲劳综合征是否是一种与肌痛性脑脊髓炎不同的疾病,已经有了大量的讨论。一项先前的研究将肌痛性脑脊髓炎国际共识标准与福田及其同事的慢性疲劳综合征标准进行了对比,发现肌痛性脑脊髓炎国际共识标准所确定的患者亚组,相较于符合福田及其同事标准的更大群体,功能损害以及身体、心理和认知问题更为严重。当前的研究分析了两个独立的数据集,发现肌痛性脑脊髓炎国际共识标准识别出了更多有更严重症状的受损个体。
