Acne is a common disease especially among teenagers. It has a considerable psychological impact on affected individuals. The aim of this paper was to assess if the effect of acne on acne-related quality of life is correlated to acne clinical severity. 112 university female students attending the university medical clinics with acne complaints were examined. Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) was used to assess acne-related quality of life, and global acne grading system (GAGS) was used to assess clinical severity of acne. There was no correlation between acne severity (GAGS scoring system) and quality of life impairment as assessed by CADI score (r = 0.145, P = .127). Additionally, CADI score did not correlate with disease duration or age of patients. We therefore conclude that acne clinical severity alone does not affect acne-related quality of life changes. Many other factors might play a role.
痤疮是一种常见疾病，尤其在青少年中高发。它对患者个体有着相当大的心理影响。本文旨在评估痤疮对痤疮相关生活质量的影响是否与痤疮临床严重程度相关。对112名到大学医务室就诊且有痤疮问题的女大学生进行了检查。采用卡迪夫痤疮残疾指数（CADI）评估痤疮相关生活质量，采用全球痤疮分级系统（GAGS）评估痤疮临床严重程度。痤疮严重程度（GAGS评分系统）与通过CADI评分评估的生活质量受损之间无相关性（r = 0.145，P = 0.127）。此外，CADI评分与病程或患者年龄无关。因此，我们得出结论，仅痤疮临床严重程度不会影响痤疮相关生活质量的变化。可能还有许多其他因素在起作用。
