Symptom context for the conversation around blood tests.
Fatigue, sleep difficulties and itch tell your clinician about the person's reported experience. Compare questionnaires for that context alongside the laboratory process your clinic already uses.
At a glance
Questionnaire context alongside your testing process.
- Reported fatigue
Investigate the appropriate questionnaire form
- Sleep context
Distinguish sleepiness from poor sleep
- Clinician review
Interpret in the wider consultation
The result and the person's experience answer different questions.
Your clinic may want to understand what prompted the consultation and how symptoms affect daily life. Choosing a questionnaire for that account is separate from ordering a test or interpreting a biomarker. Start with the information your clinician needs to hear.
- Fatigue context
- Daytime sleepiness
- Itch and everyday impact
A clear purpose for every step.
Start with the information your clinicians need. Use these steps to plan the questionnaire work around the consultation.
- 01
Start with the reported concern
Compare fatigue, sleep, itch or mood questionnaire information against the consultation question. Measure selection remains with your clinician.
- 02
Build a questionnaire shortlist
Read the form, purpose and administration notes for each relevant entry. Bring the measures you use and the collection steps you need to a product conversation.
- 03
Keep the laboratory process distinct
Questionnaire preparation sits alongside your testing process. Test ordering, samples, laboratory systems and biomarker interpretation remain outside this offer.
What each measure brings to the review.
These are symptom questionnaires, not blood tests. Compare the reported experiences they concern and the administration requirements for each form.
PROMIS Short Form v1.0 - Fatigue 4a
PROMIS Fatigue 4a concerns reported fatigue. Compare its exact form with the information your team needs, and check the permitted administration.
Reference listing for form and purpose comparison. The short form measures the experience of fatigue, not its cause.
Read PROMIS Fatigue 4a catalogue details →The Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire listing concerns self-reported fatigue. It does not determine the cause of fatigue or a laboratory finding.
Reference listing for form and purpose comparison. Physical and mental fatigue are separate scales and should be read that way.
Read CFQ-11 catalogue details →5-D Itch Scale
The 5-D Itch listing concerns the reported experience and impact of itch. It is not a test for a biochemical cause.
Reference listing for form and purpose comparison. Read the five dimensions separately, because a single total can hide a severe one.
Read 5-D Itch catalogue details →Daytime sleepiness is distinct from fatigue. The shared ESS catalogue entry helps your team investigate that difference.
Links to the existing sleep catalogue entry, where the same measure is described in its sleep-clinic context.

Bring relevant questionnaire choices together
Find fatigue, sleep and itch entries in one category, with links to their purpose and administration notes.
Have a specific collection conversation
Start with the symptom information your clinicians need. Use the shortlist to discuss questionnaire requests and review alongside your existing laboratory process.
Your team's questions, answered.
Assessment purposes, clinical responsibilities and the next step for your service.
Does Lirena order blood tests or connect to laboratories?
No. Lirena's role here is questionnaire preparation. Ordering tests, handling samples, laboratory connections and interpreting biomarkers belong to your clinic's testing process.
Can questionnaires explain an abnormal biomarker or choose a panel?
No. A symptom questionnaire does not identify a biochemical cause, interpret a laboratory result or establish which tests to order. Those decisions belong to the clinician and the clinic's testing process.
What does the fatigue and itch catalogue cover?
It includes PROMIS Fatigue, Chalder Fatigue, Worst Itch NRS and 5-D Itch reference listings. Compare their purposes, exact forms and administration requirements. They concern reported symptoms rather than a laboratory diagnosis.
Why are sleep and mood measures in this category?
Sleep and mood questionnaires can add reported context to a consultation. They keep their own purposes and administration requirements; being listed here does not make them laboratory assessments.
