Life quality assessment among patients with atopic eczema

Summary Background  Quantification of quality of life (QoL) related to disease severity is important in patients with atopic eczema (AE), because the assessment provides additional information to the traditional objective clinical scoring systems. Objectives  To measure health‐related QoL (HRQoL) in...

description Summary Background  Quantification of quality of life (QoL) related to disease severity is important in patients with atopic eczema (AE), because the assessment provides additional information to the traditional objective clinical scoring systems. Objectives  To measure health‐related QoL (HRQoL) in patients with AE; to analyse discriminant, divergent and convergent validity by examining the association between various QoL methods; and to examine the association between disease severity assessed by an objective Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and QoL. Methods  HRQoL was assessed at two visits at a 6‐monthly interval in 101 patients with AE and 30 controls with one dermatology‐specific questionnaire [Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) or Children's DLQI (CDLQI)], one generic instrument (SF‐36) and three visual analogue scales (VASs) of severity and pruritus. Objective SCORAD was used to measure disease severity. Results  Patients with AE had significantly lower QoL than healthy controls and the general population. DLQI /CDLQI, pruritus, and patient and investigator overall assessment of eczema severity were significantly (P
