Comparison of the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis and Myasthenia Gravis Activity of Daily Living Scores From a Clinical Practice Perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction/aims

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by fluctuating symptoms, making the assessment of disease activity challenging. Discordance between the clinician-reported quantitative myasthenia gravis (QMG) score and the patient-reported MG activity of daily living (MG-ADL) has previously been observed. We aimed to compare QMG and MG-ADL in a clinical practice setting and to relate to the quality-of-life instrument myasthenia gravis quality of life 15 (MG-QoL-15).

Methods

MG patients simultaneously assessed by QMG, MG-ADL, and MG-QoL-15 (n = 177) identified in the Swedish MG registry were included. The distribution of total scores for QMG and MG-ADL and per-item score discordance was investigated using the Chi-squared test and paired t-tests. Multivariate linear r
