Abstract
BACKGROUND: Attention disturbances are frequently observed in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of this study was to provide new evidence regarding the suitability of using self-reported QoL information in this impaired population by exploring the construct validity, reliability, and external validity of a MS-specific quality of life (QoL) instrument.Entities:

* MusiQoL and SF36: the three conditions were: i) correlation coefficient between ADL and PF or RP or V higher than 0,50 and stronger than the other correlations; ii) correlation coefficient between PWB and MH higher than 0,50 and stronger than the other correlations; iii) all other correlation coefficients inferior to 0,40.
** MusiQoL and EDSS: the two conditions were: i) correlation coefficient between ADL and EDSS > 0,4 and stronger than the other correlations; ii) all other correlation coefficients inferior to 0,40, The score was 100% when all the dimensions met the condition.
