| Abstract |
This paper demonstrates the mechanism of a multidimensional computerized adaptive test (CAT) to measure fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A CAT can be used to precisely measure patient-reported outcomes at an individual level as items are consequentially selected based on the patient's previous answers. The item bank of the CAT Fatigue RA has been developed from the patients' perspective and consists of 196 items pertaining to three fatigue dimensions: severity, impact and variability of fatigue. The CAT Fatigue RA was completed by fifteen patients. To test the CAT's working mechanism, we applied the flowchart-check-method. The adaptive item selection procedure for each patient was checked by the researchers. The estimated fatigue levels and the measurement precision per dimension were illustrated with the selected items, answers and flowcharts. The CAT Fatigue RA selected all items in a logical sequence and those items were selected which provided the most information about the patient's individual fatigue. Flowcharts further illustrated that the CAT reached a satisfactory measurement precision, with less than 20 items, on the dimensions severity and impact and to somewhat lesser extent also for the dimension variability. Patients' fatigue scores varied across the three dimensions; sometimes severity scored highest, other times impact or variability. The CAT's ability to display different fatigue experiences can improve communication in daily clinical practice, guide interventions, and facilitate research into possible predictors of fatigue. The results indicate that the CAT Fatigue RA measures precise and comprehensive. Once it is examined in more detail in a consecutive, elaborate validation study, the CAT will be available for implementation in daily clinical practice and for research purposes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 November 2015.
All research outputs
#12,625,520
of 22,792,160 outputs
Outputs from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#928
of 2,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#111,674
of 255,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#2
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,792,160 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,159 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 255,034 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
