Validation and clinical utility of OMGRate and MG-QOL15 in evaluating symptoms and quality of life in Chinese patients with ocular myasthenia gravis
To evaluate the value of the OMGRate and MG-QOL15 in assessing quality of life (QoL) before and after treatment in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) and to validate the applicability of OMGRate in the Chinese OMG population.
Key Findings:
52 patients with OMG were included in the study.
Age of onset and first symptoms significantly impacted patients’ QoL (p < 0.001).
AChR-Ab positivity and thymic abnormalities were associated with disease severity (p < 0.05).
Significant reductions in all scale scores were observed, reaching optimal levels at 6 months.
OMGRate-e and OMGRate-q scores showed moderate to strong positive correlations across all observation times.
Interpretation:
Remove the entire interpretation section.
Limitations:
The study was limited to a single center, which may affect generalizability.
Exclusion of patients with concomitant diseases or those who progressed to GMG may limit the findings.
Conclusion:
Revise to remove unsupported claims about the evidence's robustness.
As cataract surgery continues to evolve, the focus is shifting beyond the operating theatre to the weakest part of the patient pathway – postoperative drops
