Migraine Impact on Quality of Life and Disability in Malaysia, 2023-2026

200 patient records from a case-control study comparing quality of life and disability scores between migraine patients and healthy controls. The dataset includes WHOQOL-BREF and MIDAS questionnaire results from a neurology clinic in Malaysia, collected between August 2023 and March 2026 by Firyal Harlina Hussain. It contains scores for physical health, psychological health, and migraine disability, with statistical significance values.

Use Cases

• Predict migraine disability based on headache frequency and photophobia as described in the results.
• Analyze the relationship between physical health scores and overall quality of life in migraine patients.
• Compare quality of life domain scores between migraine patients and healthy controls.
• Model the odds of disability increase per additional monthly migraine episode using the reported odds ratio.

Strengths

• Contains data from 100 migraine patients and 100 matched controls, providing a balanced case-control design.
• Includes specific statistical results such as p-values, odds ratios (e.g., OR=2.293), and mean scores (e.g., physical health 64.86 vs 74.52).
• Uses standardized clinical instruments: the WHOQOL-BREF and MIDAS questionnaires.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single tertiary hospital in Malaysia, which may limit generalizability.
