Abstract
Backgrounds : Many people think that skin disease has little influence on the quality of life in patients, but various studies show that skin disease may produce a range of impacts on QOL. Nevertheless, there is much to be learned about the association between the quality of life and skin disease in the area of Oriental dermatology. Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate the impact of the various skin diseases on QOL and explore prognostic factors that influence outcomes. Methods : 103 patients were recruited who filled out more than 90% of the skindex-29 questionnaire. The function of sum scores and three domain scores with each skin disease were investigated, as well as the correlation of each domain scores. Results : The disease with the lowest quality of life was atopic dermatitis, followed by eczematous dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and acne vulgaris in order. The sum scores showed significant correlation with three domain scores in atopic dermatitis, urticaria, allergodermia, acne vulgaris, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The correlation of all three domain scores was significant in atopic dermatitis, urticaria, allergodermia, and psoriasis. Conclusions : In this study, skin disease affects the quality of life in physical, social, and psychological factors. Thus, we must consider the quality of life as well as clinical severity in patients with skin disease.
