Statistical tests included descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, and sensitivity\/specificity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results:<\/jats:title>Eighty\u2010seven patients completed the MG\u2010ADL, MG Composite (MGC), and MG 15\u2010item Quality of Life scale (MG\u2010QOL15) on the first visit, and 76 returned for the second visit. At the first visit, there was a strong positive correlation between MG\u2010ADL and MGC (r<\/jats:italic> = 0.85, P<\/jats:italic> < 0.0001) and MG\u2010QOL15 (r<\/jats:italic> = 0.76, P<\/jats:italic> < 0.0001). Correlation of the delta MG\u2010ADL score and physician impression of change between the visits was strong (r<\/jats:italic> = 0.70, P<\/jats:italic> < 0.0001).

A 2\u2010point improvement in the MG\u2010ADL indicates clinical improvement. The MG\u2010ADL is useful as a research tool and in routine clinical management.
