Vitiligo is known to affect the quality of social and personal life in some countries. This study aims to assess the quality of life (QOL) in vitiligo sufferers among the Iranian population and to evaluate its relation with different variables.
One hundred vitiligo patients answered a questionnaire based on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).
The mean DLQI score was 8.16. There were statistically significant relationships between DLQI scores and marital status, skin phototype, and disease extension independently.
This study shows that vitiligo has a major impact on the QOL of patients in Iran. Hence dermatologists should pay attention to the psychological effects of this cosmetic disease and try to decrease its extension and disfiguring effects by various treatments.
在一些国家,白癜风被认为会影响社交和个人生活质量。本研究旨在评估伊朗人群中白癜风患者的生活质量(QOL),并评估其与不同变量的关系。
100名白癜风患者回答了基于皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)的问卷。
DLQI平均得分为8.16。DLQI得分与婚姻状况、皮肤光型和疾病范围之间分别存在统计学上的显著关系。
本研究表明,白癜风对伊朗患者的生活质量有重大影响。因此,皮肤科医生应关注这种美容疾病的心理影响,并尝试通过各种治疗方法减少其范围和毁容效果。
