Impact of pruritus on patient fatigue: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Through an analysis of 114 015 adult patients in the NIH All of Us research programme – an initiative structured to incorporate populations that have been historically under-represented in biomedical research – we concluded that diagnoses of chronic pruritus and pruritus-related conditions were significantly associated with increased fatigue compared with age-, sex- and race/ethnicity propensity-matched controls without pruritus.
