Could their choice of selection criteria have also contributed? By its nature, criteria that are focused on medically unexplained fatigue could...
So does this suggest its reasonable for ME researchers to identify ME cases in their studies using whichever of Oxford, NICE 2007, Fukuda, IOM,...
I agree with your point #1. I was thinking of point 2 - selecting a comparable cohort of people across studies. The US has established the IOM...
Excuse me if this is a dumb question or it works differently in the UK. But will those receiving new research grants from UK government bodies...

Post copied from a NICE guidelines thread FYI - CDC has posted the NICE Guidelines on its ME/CFS website, in the resources section for healthcare...
At today's CDC stakeholder engagement call, Dr. Beth Unger made the following statement about the evidence review that they had contracted with a...
That was exactly my reaction. Objective measures, use of Oxford, flawed disease theory, etc.
Just to clarify - would you also say this about the criteria established in UK's 2021 NICE guidelines? And if so, does that mean the following...
Has anyone looked at this document? If so, what did you think about this overall? And also re the discussion on cognitive issues. Quite an...
Yes, it is similar. Less than 2 dozen docs for the entire country. In addition to the expense, waiting lists are long (can be years), and patients...
Worth noting a few of the objections being voiced... ME-International's proposal/comment calls for a) ME to only be diagnosed using the ME-ICC...
The multiple communications on this were very clear - the orgs proposal was primarily about getting ME/CFS added and changing the lead term to...
