Fig 1.
The differences in sleep quality, depression, pain severity, and quality of life scores in patients with NMOSD based on the presence of fatigue.
PSQI, BDI, and BPI scores were higher in patients with NMSOD and fatigue than in those without fatigue. Moreover, the physical and mental component scores of quality of life assessed by SF-36 were lower in patients with NMSOD and fatigue. PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; BDI, Beck Depression Inventory; BPI, Brief Pain Inventory; SF-36, Short-Form 36 Health Survey.

Scatter plots of correlations among PSQI, BDI, the physical and mental component scores of SF-36, and FACIT-fatigue.
There were negative correlations among PSQI score, BDI score, and FACIT-fatigue score. Furthermore, the physical and mental component scores of SF-36 were positively correlated with FACIT-fatigue score.
