Focus on fatigue amongst young adults with spastic cerebral palsy

Table 2 Fatigue and comparison between unilateral and bilateral cerebral palsy

	Total (n = 56)	Unilateral CP (n = 29)	Bilateral CP (n = 26)	P^a
FSS score, mean (SD)	3.7 (±1.4)	3.1 (±1.3)	4.2 (±1.4)	<0.01^b
FSS ≥4.0, n (%)	22 (39.3)	10 (34.4)	12 (46.2)	0.38
FSS ≥5.1, n (%)	7 (12.5)	1 (3.4)	6 (23.1)	0.03^b

^aP values for independent sample t-tests (FSS score) or Chi square-test (proportion of fatigue) for differences between unilateral and bilateral CP groups are presented.
^bSignificant (p ≤ 0.05) difference between unilateral and bilateral CP groups.
CP subtype was missing for one participant.
CP = cerebral palsy; FSS = Fatigue Severity Scale.
