AIM: This study aimed analyze correlation between fatigue perform activity living (ADL) among patients MG. METHOD: severity scale (FSS) was used measure MG-ADL evaluate ADL. Rank-Spearman test assess activities. RESULTS: Thirty-one (nine males 22 females) were included classified into three subgroups fatigue: Non-fatigue (FSS <4), borderline (4 < FSS 5), >5). There significant ADL (p = 0.005; p 0.488) CI 95%. CONCLUSION: correlates
