Figure 2 Proportions of PSC patients who had not received a transplant (n = 160) with significant symptoms as assessed by CLDQ. Patients with CLDQ domain score <4 (ie, occurring at least some of the time) were considered to have significant symptoms. Two percent of patients had significant systemic symptoms as assessed by CLDQ. However, analysis of specific symptoms CLDQ questions showed that 24% had significant bodily pain, 8% had shortness of breath, 11% had muscle cramps, 18% had mouth dryness, and 24% had pruritus.

P > .05 for all. Patients were classified as fatigued if they had an FIS score >2 SDs compared with the sex- and age-matched controls from the general population.
