Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:We sought to translate, culturally adapt, and assess the Arabic version of the 15-item myasthenia gravis quality-of-life revised scale (MGQOL15R). METHODS:We assessed reliability with Cronbach α; reproducibility with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC); validity with Spearman correlations for myasthenia gravis (MG)-specific activities of daily living (MG-ADL), MG composite (MGC) score, and MG manual muscle test (MG-MMT) and with MGQOL15R in patients with different disease severity through the Kruskal-Wallis test; and sensitivity to change with Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS:In 65 enrolled patients, the mean MGQOL15R score was 10.84 ± 8.11 (α = 0.94, ICC = 0.95). The correlation coefficients between MGQOL15R and MGC, MG-ADL, and MG-MMT scores were 0.75, 0.75, and 0.74, respectively (P < 0.001). MGQOL15R scores were significantly higher (worse) in patients with more severe disease at baseline and significantly lower (better) in improved patients at follow-up. DISCUSSION:The Arabic version of MGQOL15R is valid, reliable, stable, and sensitive to changes. Muscle Nerve 57: 581-585, 2018.
