  1. MS multiple sclerosis, SCZ schizophrenia.
  2. *MusiQoL and EDSS, the two conditions were: i) correlation coefficient between ADL and EDSS > 0.4 and stronger than the other correlations for MusiQoL; ii) all other correlation coefficients inferior to 0.40. SQoL and PANSS, the condition was correlation coefficient < 0.30 or not statistically significant. The score was 100% when all the dimensions met the condition.
  3. LI no/low-impaired (0 or 1 impaired composites: executive. memory. and attention functions). HI highly-impaired (2 or 3 composites are impaired).
