Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, and often disfiguring skin disease that may significantly affect patients' quality of life. Treatment of psoriasis, including hospitalization, has been shown to improve quality of life. A pilot study of 15 consecutive inpatients and 7 consecutive outpatients with psoriasis were asked to complete the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) before treatment and 3 months later. Hospitalized patients also completed the DLQI 1 week after discharge. Statistical analysis using t tests compared pretreatment and posttreatment DLQI scores as well as improvement of inpatients versus outpatients. Baseline DLQI scores for hospitalized patients were significantly higher (greater impairment of life quality) compared with oupatients' quality of life. After discharge, hospitalized patients' quality of life had significantly improved at 1 week and remained improved at 3 months.
银屑病是一种慢性、复发性且常导致容貌受损的皮肤病，可能会显著影响患者的生活质量。银屑病的治疗，包括住院治疗，已被证明可以改善生活质量。一项针对15名连续住院的银屑病患者和7名连续门诊的银屑病患者的初步研究，要求他们在治疗前和3个月后完成皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）。住院患者在出院1周后也完成了DLQI。使用t检验进行统计分析，比较治疗前和治疗后的DLQI评分以及住院患者与门诊患者的改善情况。与门诊患者的生活质量相比，住院患者的基线DLQI评分显著更高（生活质量受损更严重）。出院后，住院患者的生活质量在1周时显著改善，并在3个月时仍保持改善。
