Responses were correlated with symptoms and signs, the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Score (QMGS), the Myasthenia Gravis Impairment Index (MGII), and the 15\u2010item Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life scale (MG\u2010QOL15). <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> The total cohort included 169 patients.
