Daily patterns of fatigue after subarachnoid haemorrhage: an ecological momentary assessment study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the daily course of, and factors associated with, momentary fatigue after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and to explore subgroups of patients with distinct diurnal patterns of fatigue.

Design

Observational study using ecological momentary assessment.

Subjects

A total of 41 participants with subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Methods

Patients with fatigue were included within one year post-onset. Momentary fatigue (scale 1-7) was assessed with repeated measurements (10-11 times/day) during 7 consecutive days. Multilevel-mixed-model analyses and latent-class trajectory modelling were conducted.

Results

Mean (standard deviation; SD) age of the group was 53.9 (13.0) years, 56% female, and mean (SD) time post-subarachnoid haemorrhage onset was 9.3 (3.2
