This study is part of the collection Scania Metadatabase for Epidemiology (SME)

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Description:

45 patients with previous chronic fatigue syndrome were followed up for 1.5 years. Neuropsychological examination, cortisol concentration in the saliva over the day, dexamethasone suppression test and self-ratings of cognitive problems was conducted.

Purpose:

To investigate whether recovery after fatigue syndrome is associated with improved cognitive function and whether such improvement is related to changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-axix (HPA), activity and return to work.
