Functional Living Index for Emesis Definition FLIE is the only specific, valid questionnaire aimed at measuring the impact of CINV on the patient’s daily life. FLIE explores two domains, nausea and vomiting, using 9 items for each domain, with a 5-day recall. To each item is associated a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale graduated from 1 (the worst condition) to 7 (the best condition) points. Therefore, each domain score ranges from 9 (maximum impact) to 63 (no impact), with a high score reflecting less impact on daily life. No (or minimal) Impact on patient’s Daily Life (NIDL) is generally considered a score 54 (6 points mean for each item). To standardize the results, FLIE should be administered twice: before the chemotherapy administration and at day 6 from the chemotherapy administration, in both cases with a 5-day recall.
