Among 28,753 randomly selected adults (aged 18\u201370 years) invited to complete an electronic questionnaire, 8265 (28.7%) participants responded. The questionnaire was a modified version of the Headache-Attributed Restriction, Disability, Social Handicap and Impaired Participation questionnaire, and migraine was classified using a diagnostic algorithm that has been validated by telephone interview in this population. High-frequency episodic migraine was classified according to newly proposed criteria, and chronic migraine according to International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) criteria. Using linear regression for continuous variables and logistic regression for binary outcomes, we compared the disease burden and quality of life between participants classified with high-frequency episodic migraine and those with chronic migraine. The analysis was conducted in two steps: a primary analysis adjusted for age and sex, as well as a second analysis with an additional adjustment for monthly migraine days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 8265 responders, 225 had high-frequency episodic migraine and 349 had chronic migraine. Compared to the high-frequency episodic migraine group, the chronic migraine group had more monthly migraine days (17.9 vs. 9.7,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and headache days (20.8 vs. 9.9,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
