The Myasthenia Gravis-Quality of Life 15 (MG-QOL 15) is a brief 15-item disease specific questionnaire that is designed to assess aspects of quality of life in Myasthenia Gravis. The 15 items are derived from the larger 60 item Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life (MGQOL) and were selected based on responsiveness and reliability.
Strengths: ease-of-use; disease-specific; performance on par with the 60 item MGQOL. Patient-reported QOL
