Dimensionality, reliability, and validity of the INCB\u2010MG scale were studied by principal component factor analysis, Cronbach alpha, and Pearson correlation coefficients; interobserver reliability was calculated by the weighted Cohen K coefficient. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Generalized and bulbar INCB\u2010MG subscales were unidimensional with excellent consistency; the INCB\u2010MG and MGC scales were strongly correlated. Fatigability assessment was correlated with the INCB\u2010MG generalized, bulbar, and respiratory subscales. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: The INCB\u2010MG scale is a reliable tool to assess MG and is strongly correlated with the MGC. The INCB\u2010MG scale is a valid tool for every day practice and should be further investigated for its application in clinical trials. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>53<\/jats:bold>: 32\u201337, 2016<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,15]],"date-time":"2015-09-15T21:39:21Z","timestamp":1442353161000},"page":"32-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Validation of the besta neurological institute rating scale for myasthenia gravis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Carlo","family":"Antozzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.O.
