Research abstract:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Background:
\nMyalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS) remains\u00a0undiagnosed in up to 91% of patients. Recently, the United States-based\u00a0Institute of Medicine (IOM) developed new diagnostic criteria, naming it\u00a0systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID).<\/p>\n

Purpose:
\nWe examined how subjects fit SEID criteria and existing ME\/CFS case\u00a0definitions early in their illness.<\/p>\n

Methods
\nA total of 131 subjects fitting 1994 Fukuda CFS criteria at the time of\u00a0study recruitment completed a survey of symptoms they experienced during\u00a0their first 6 months of illness. Symptoms were drawn from SEID and\u00a0existing criteria (1994 Fukuda, 2003 Canadian Consensus Criteria (CCC),\u00a0and 2011 Myalgic Encephalomyelitis-International Consensus Criteria\u00a0(ME-ICC)).<\/p>\n

We calculated and compared the number\/percentage of subjects\u00a0fitting single or combinations of case definitions and the\u00a0number\/percentage of subjects with SEID experiencing orthostatic\u00a0intolerance (OI) and\/or cognitive impairment.<\/p>\n

Results
\nAt 6 months of illness, SEID criteria identified 72% of all subjects,\u00a0similar to when Fukuda criteria (79%) or the CCC (71%) were used,\u00a0whereas the ME-ICC selected for a significantly lower percentage (61%,\u00a0p\u2009<\u2009.001). When severity\/frequency thresholds were added to the Fukuda\u00a0criteria, CCC and ME-ICC, the percentage of these subjects also fitting\u00a0SEID criteria increased to 93%, 97%, and 95%. Eighty-seven percent of\u00a0SEID subjects endorsed cognitive impairment and 92%, OI; 79% experienced\u00a0both symptoms.<\/p>\n

Conclusions
\nSEID criteria categorize a similar percentage of subjects as Fukuda\u00a0criteria early in the course of ME\/CFS and contain the majority of\u00a0subjects identified using other criteria while requiring fewer symptoms.\u00a0The advantage of SEID may be in its ease of use.<\/p>\n
