The aim of the study is to report test\u2013retest reliability and construct validity of Turkish version of Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living Scale (MG-ADL-T) in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) patients. Fifty-two ocular and generalized individuals with MG, applying to rehabilitation center, were included in the study. MG-ADL-T, MG quality-of-life questionnaire (MG-QoL), MG composite (MGC), quantitative MG score (QMGS), and pulmonary function test were administered. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach\u2019s alpha. Spearman correlation test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed for construct validity. MG-ADL-T had fair internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 = .67), excellent test\u2013retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) and moderate construct validity (MG-QoL, r = 0.59; QMGS, r = .58; MGC, r = .68). MG-ADL, a unique scale that evaluates activities of daily living (ADL), has good test\u2013retest reliability and construct validity in Turkish MG patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1539449220961077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]],"date-time":"2020-10-03T05:03:42Z","timestamp":1601701422000},"page":"101-107","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Reliability and Validity of Turkish Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living Scale"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2439-9234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ecem","family":"Karanfil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yeliz","family":"Salc\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayla","family":"Fil-Balkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Can Ebru","family":"Bekircan-Kurt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sevim","family":"Erdem \u00d6zdamar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kadriye","family":"Armutlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1539449220961077","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alanazy M.
