== ME/CFS == * In 1998 polio expert Richard Bruno, along with colleagues, reviewed the clinical findings in PPS and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). They found significant parallels which suggested a possible common pathophysiology.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal | last = Bruno | first = Richard L | last2 = Creange | first2 = Susan J | last3 = Frick | first3 = Nancy M | date = 1998-09-28 | title = Parallels between post-polio fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome: a common pathophysiology?|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002934398001612|journal=The American Journal of Medicine|volume=105|issue=3, Supplement 1 | pages = 66S–73S|doi=10.1016/S0002-9343(98)00161-2|issn=0002-9343}}</ref> * In 2014 a Swedish clinician, using Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), compared the quality of life in 124 patients with PPS and 100 patients with ME/CFS. Results indicated that both groups have lower quality of life than Swedish controls, and that ME/CFS patients had a lower quality of life compared with PPS patients.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal | last = Östlund | first=G. | date = May 2014 | title = Comparison of quality of life in patients with post-polio syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome with Swedish norm|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1877065714003832|journal=Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine|language=en|volume=57| pages = e99|doi=10.1016/j.rehab.2014.03.340}}</ref> * A study in 2019, using the self-reporting questionnaires, DePaul Symptom Questionnaire 2 (DSQ-2) and Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), found that participants with ME/CFS were more functionally impaired across symptoms than those with PPS.<ref name=":2" /> Additionally, the study found that the three domains that most commonly differentiated ME/CFS from PPS were neurocognitive, [[post-exertional malaise]], and neuroendocrine.<ref name=":2" />
