在荷兰，开始了一项关于工作人群长期疲劳的大规模前瞻性队列研究。必须解决的第一个问题是确定用于工作人群的疲劳临界点。疲劳是用个人力量检查表（CIS），一份20项自我报告问卷来测量的。本文演示了决策过程中的分界点的确定。计算CIS总分，比较潜在临界点的敏感性和特异性，并进行受试者操作特征分析。CIS疲劳的总截止点确定为>76，特异性为90%，灵敏度为73%。关于使用截止点的限制进行了讨论。它的结论是，定义的临界点似乎是适当的工作人群中使用。
In the Netherlands, a large-scale prospective cohort study was started on prolonged fatigue in the working population. The 1st issue that had to be addressed was the determination of a cutoff point for fatigue for use in the working population. Fatigue is measured with the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), a 20-item self-report questionnaire. This article demonstrates the process of decision making in the determination of the cutoff point. Total CIS scores were calculated, sensitivity and specificity were compared for potential cutoff points, and a receiver operating characteristics analysis was conducted. A CIS total cutoff point for fatigue of >76 was determined, with a specificity of 90% and a sensitivity of 73%. Limitations regarding the use of cutoff points are discussed. It is concluded that the defined cutoff point seems to be appropriate for use in the working population.
