Demographic information, disease related history, and QOL were compared between men and women using multivariable analysis. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: A total of 1,315 subjects (827 women) were included. Women were significantly younger, had a younger age at symptom onset, and were more likely to have thymoma and thymectomy. The 15\u2010item Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life scale (MG\u2010QOL15) was significantly worse in women. MG\u2010QOL15 score was comparable between women who had thymectomy and men with or without thymectomy. <jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>: QOL among MG patients is worse in women compared with men, but this disparity is eliminated in women who have undergone thymectomy. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>58<\/jats:bold>: 90\u201398, 2018<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.26104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,21]],"date-time":"2018-02-21T23:02:40Z","timestamp":1519254160000},"page":"90-98","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Gender and quality of life in myasthenia gravis patients from the myasthenia gravis foundation of America registry"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Ikjae","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham Alabama USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henry J.","family":"Kaminski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology The George Washington University Washington DC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haichang","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Care Organization and Policy University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham Alabama USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Cutter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham Alabama USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.23245"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20950"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1602489"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21883"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21053"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21016"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.52.7.1487"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21713"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e318258f744"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7224\/1537-2073-10.3.81"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08916934.2015.1030614"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000441-200601000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.537"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00207454.2010.539307"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0032487"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12016-016-8558-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.12057"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000322497"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24769"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3988\/jcn.2012.8.3.161"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2004.06.090"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000080093"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-1331.2003.00678.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21191"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.42.10.1888"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nmd.2007.07.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0032487"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_29_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/clin.1997.4412"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_30_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.537"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_31_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000441-200601000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_32_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08916934.2015.1030614"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_33_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.65.4.492"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_34_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.538"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_35_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410150316"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_36_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2003.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_37_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1352458506075031"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp;
