MCI, fatigue
Prior to GKRS, patients with BM (n = 92) experienced significantly higher fatigue on all subscales than controls (n = 104). Over 21 months, physical fatigue increased, and mental fatigue decreased significantly. More specifically, general, and physical fatigue increased significantly between pre-GKRS and 3 months, followed by stable scores between 3 (n = 67) and 6 (n = 53), 6 and 12 (n = 34) and 12 and 21 (n = 21) months. An MCI increase in general or physical fatigue over the first 3 months after GKRS was a significant predictor of shorter survival time.
