Myasthenia gravis activities of daily living profile

Abstract

The authors have developed an MG activities of daily living (ADL) profile (MG-ADL)-a simple eight-question survey of MG symptoms. In 254 consecutive encounters with established MG patients, the authors compared scores from the MG-ADL to the quantitative MG score (QMG)-a standardized, reliable scale used in clinical trials. The mean MG-ADL score was 4.89+/-3.63. The mean QMG score was 10.80+/-5.70. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.583 (p < 0.001). The MG-ADL is an easy-to-administer survey of MG that correlates well with the QMG and can serve as a secondary efficacy measurement in clinical trials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
