Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life -54 Questionnaire Definition MSQOL 54 can be considered as the most known disease-specific instrument for the evaluation of QOL in MS patients. It was developed to combine generic quality of life aspects of the SF-36 with MS-targeted dimensions and ratings for the overall quality of life. Therefore, 18-disease-specific items were added to the original 36 items of the SF-36. The 54 items are divided into 12 multi-item and two single-item scales. The MSQOL-54 items are transformed linearly to 0–100 scores and final scores are obtained by averaging items within the scales.
Multiple System Atrophy Definition MSA is characterised by poorly levodoparesponsive Parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, autonomic failure and pyramidal signs. Depending on the combination of features, two subtypes have been characterised: MSAp (with Parkinsonism predominant) and MSA-c (with cerebellar features predominant).

Life expectancy is on average 8 or 9 years from onset of symptoms.
