The Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) profile scale is a simple-to-use instrument. We aimed to validate this scale in the Korean language and compare physician- and self-assessed MG-ADL scores (pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K).
pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K and MG Composite (MGC) scores were obtained from patients. The correlation between pMG-ADL-K and MGC and the relationship between the pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K were assessed using the Cronbach α and the Spearman coefficient. By intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), the reliability of each sub-item of pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K was evaluated.
We included data from 40 patients. The pMG-ADL-K score showed a strong correlation with the MGC score (rho = 0.80, P < 0.01). The Cronbach α was 0.98 between pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K, and sub-items showed good consistency (ICC 0.684-0.985, P < 0.001).
The MG-ADL-K is a valid tool and the sMG-ADL-K shows excellent correlation with pMG-ADL-K. Both the pMG-ADL-K and sMG-ADL-K can be used to measure MG severity. Muscle Nerve 57: 419-422, 2018.
重症肌无力日常生活活动(MG-ADL)量表是一种易于使用的工具。我们旨在验证该量表的韩语版本,并比较医生和自我评估的 MG-ADL 评分(pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K)。
从患者中获得 pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K 和 MG 综合(MGC)评分。使用 Cronbach α 和 Spearman 系数评估 pMG-ADL-K 和 MGC 之间的相关性以及 pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K 之间的关系。通过组内相关系数(ICC)评估 pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K 的每个子项的可靠性。
我们纳入了 40 名患者的数据。pMG-ADL-K 评分与 MGC 评分呈强相关性(rho=0.80,P<0.01)。pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K 之间的 Cronbach α 为 0.98,子项具有良好的一致性(ICC 0.684-0.985,P<0.001)。
MG-ADL-K 是一种有效的工具,sMG-ADL-K 与 pMG-ADL-K 具有极好的相关性。pMG-ADL-K 和 sMG-ADL-K 均可用于测量 MG 的严重程度。肌肉神经 57:419-422, 2018。
