Our aim is to explore the relationship between myasthenia gravis (MG)-related symptom burden, sleep quality, and fatigue in a diverse group of self-identified MG patients.
Patients provided relevant myasthenia disease data and completed the MG QOL-15, Epworth sleepiness scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and fatigue severity score (FSS) online. MG activities of daily living scale (MG-ADL) was completed on a follow-up telephone interview.
One hundred ninety-six patients completed the online survey and 99 provided MG-ADL data. The mean age was 52 ± 15.34 years, 88 were acetylcholine receptor antibody positive, and 21 were muscle specific kinase positive. The mean MG-ADL was 6.81, indicating a moderate MG disease burden. Forty-seven (24%) reported high Epworth sleepiness scale scores, 152 (77%) reported high Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores, and 162 (82%) reported high FSS scores. Correlation analysis correcting for body mass index and sleep apnea revealed a moderate positive correlation between MGQOL-15, MG-ADL, and FSS.
There is a moderate positive correlation between various MG-specific outcome measures and fatigue severity.
本研究旨在探讨不同类型重症肌无力(MG)患者的 MG 相关症状负担、睡眠质量和疲劳之间的关系。
患者在线提供相关的 MG 疾病数据,并完成 MG 生活质量问卷 15 项(MG-QOL-15)、爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表(Epworth sleepiness scale)、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)和疲劳严重程度量表(fatigue severity score,FSS)。在随后的电话访谈中,完成 MG 日常生活活动量表(MG-ADL)。
196 例患者完成了在线调查,99 例提供了 MG-ADL 数据。平均年龄为 52 ± 15.34 岁,88 例乙酰胆碱受体抗体阳性,21 例肌肉特异性激酶阳性。MG-ADL 的平均得分为 6.81,表明 MG 疾病负担处于中等水平。47 例(24%)报告了高爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表评分,152 例(77%)报告了高匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评分,162 例(82%)报告了高 FSS 评分。校正体重指数和睡眠呼吸暂停后进行相关性分析,发现 MG-QOL-15、MG-ADL 和 FSS 之间存在中度正相关。
MG 特异性结局指标与疲劳严重程度之间存在中度正相关。
