Article Synopsis
- * Among 259 participants, significant impairments in aspects like anxiety (58.1%), cognition (58.5%), and social function (57.7%) were observed, with many scoring worse than reference populations.
- * The findings indicate that individuals with MOGAD experience various QoL challenges, particularly those with a relapsing disease course, emphasizing the need for greater recognition and further research in this area.

November 2022
Background: Unlike multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica, the burden of fatigue in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is unclear.
Objective: To compare fatigue levels between people with MOGAD and household controls (HC) and explore factors associated with fatigue severity.
Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, data were collected from people with MOGAD and HC by utilizing an online questionnaire.
