==Narrowest and broadest diagnostic criteria == The retired [[Oxford criteria]] for CFS selected the highest number of patients as having CFS, and the [[Canadian Consensus Criteria|Canadian definition]] of ME/CFS selects the smallest number of patients, leading to radically different results in research. Nacul et al. (2017) stated: ::"For every 15 patients selected under Oxford criteria, 14 will be false positives when compared to [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]]. The [[Pace trial]] and [[FINE trial]] used Oxford criteria."<br > ::"When studies using the broad Oxford criteria (Sharpe et al., 1991) were excluded, a virtual disappearance of effect for [[graded exercise therapy]] (GET), [[cognitive behavioral therapy|cognitive behaviour therapy]] (CBT) and other psychological therapies recommended by the NICE guidelines (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), 2007) was revealed."<ref name="Nacul2017"/> {{See also|Research bias in ME/CFS}}
