Association Between Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) and EQ-5D-5L Utility Values: The Additional Effect of Efgartigimod on Utilities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

For patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), the association between symptom severity, often measured with the Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) instrument, and utility values is unknown.

Methods

Data was analyzed from the phase 3 ADAPT trial, which included adult patients with gMG randomly assigned to treatment with efgartigimod + conventional therapy (EFG + CT) or placebo + CT (PBO + CT). MG-ADL total symptom scores and the EQ-5D-5L, a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), were collected biweekly up to 26 weeks. Utility values were derived from the EQ-5D-5L data with the United Kingdom value set. Descriptive statistics were reported for MG-ADL and EQ-5D-5L at baseline and follow-up. A normal identity-link regression m
