A qualitative, mixed-method approach to reaching consensus on function, fatigue, and fatigability outcomes in teens and adults living with spinal muscular atrophy
SMA key opinion leaders and adults with SMA agreed that ADLs would be sensitive and impactful outcomes in the assessment of function, perceived fatigue, and perceived fatigability. The findings of this study form a foundation for reaching consensus around a core set of outcome measures for assessing disease status, perceived fatigue, and perceived fatigability in teens and adults with SMA in the U.S.
