Abstract
Patients' beliefs about their fatigue were the main predictors of adverse fatigue outcomes. These results suggest that fatigue associated with chronic hepatitis C infection can be conceptualized using a cognitive behavioral approach. This was the first study to evaluate the role of both comorbid mood/sleep and cognitive predictors of fatigue in a single model. Integrating the findings into existing treatment strategies could improve patient reported outcomes in chronic hepatitis C infection.
