Our aim was to correlate patients' perception of their disability with that of the care provider and determine its relationship with other MG\u2010related scores. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: We evaluated 107 MG patients at 2 neurological centers. Patients were assessed over the telephone before and after clinic visits using the 15\u2010item Myasthenia Gravis Quality\u2010of\u2010Life index (MG\u2010QOL15) and mRS. At the clinic, patients were assessed using the MG\u2010QOL15, MG Composite (MGC), and mRS. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: The MG\u2010QOL15 correlated with the MGC, mRS, and assessors' scores of patients. Assessors' perception of disease burden was in line with that of the patients' scoring. MG\u2010QOL15 scores obtained over the telephone were consistent with those obtained in the clinic. Scores were generally higher in patients receiving steroids at &gt;5 mg\/day and in those receiving or seeking benefits. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: The MG\u2010QOL15 and mRS are useful for estimating disability in MG. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>50<\/jats:bold>: 501\u2013507, 2014<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,19]],"date-time":"2014-02-19T04:31:27Z","timestamp":1392784287000},"page":"501-507","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The modified rankin scale to assess disability in myasthenia gravis: Comparing with other tools"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Maria E.","family":"Farrugia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital 1345 Govan Road Glasgow G51 4TF UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Carmichael","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital 1345 Govan Road Glasgow G51 4TF UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bryan J.","family":"Cupka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Virginia Charlottesville Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judy","family":"Warder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Virginia Charlottesville Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn M.","family":"Brennan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Institute of Neurological Sciences, Southern General Hospital 1345 Govan Road Glasgow G51 4TF UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ted M.","family":"Burns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Virginia Charlottesville Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1998.tb11015.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.52.7.1487"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.55.1.16"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1254.057"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21016"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","article-title":"Development of the MG\u2010DIS: an ICF\u2010based disability assessment instrument for myasthenia gravis","author":"Raggi A","journal-title":"Disabil Rehabil"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21880"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21053"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21609"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21883"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21185"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3181dc1b1e"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.2012.06812.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/NEU.0b013e31826a8a56"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.09.067231"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03843.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.23398"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp; Nerve"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmus.24214","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mus.24214","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]],"date-time":"2023-10-04T05:25:13Z","timestamp":1696397113000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mus.24214"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,22]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mus.24214"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mus.24214","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0148-639X","1097-4598"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0148-639X","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-4598","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,22]]}}}
