Evaluation of Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in Iran

Conclusions: Our patients achieved low scores in both the physical and mental aspects of QoL compared with other studies. We found a significant correlation between the physical domain of the SF-36 score and muscle strength of the hand, hip, and foot muscle group and with total manual muscle testing, suggesting that physical disability is the most crucial factor affecting QoL. Also, there was a significant negative association between the duration of the disease and the physical domain.
