Multi-year Q Fever Fatigue Syndrome (QFS) Database Study 2021–2024

In October 2021, Q-support, in collaboration with Erasmus MC, launched the QFS database. This is a national study in which data from patients with Q Fever Fatigue Syndrome (QFS) were collected and analyzed over a four-year period (2021–2024). Individuals registered with Q-support with a diagnosis of QFS were invited annually to complete a comprehensive questionnaire. In total, 445 participants completed the first questionnaire, 440 the second, 431 the third, and 414 the fourth. There are 240 participants who have completed all four questionnaires.

An overview of the topics per questionnaire and more information is available on our website: https://www.c-support.nu/data-aanvraag-qvs-database/

You can request a portion of this data to use for your own research or analyses. We can also perform analyses for you, such as creating customized summary tables and/or graphs.
