Chronic pruritus may manifest itself clinically in terms of different duration, intensity and quality. There is no questionnaire assessing these parameters systematically. The study presents a pruritus questionnaire for the German speaking region (AGP-Questionnaire) developed by 4 experts in the field. It comprises questions on course, intensity and quality of pruritus, general health status, sociodemographic data, quality of life (QoL) and pruritus cognition. Standardised questionnaires such as the SF-12 Health Survey (recall period 4 weeks), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were also used to assess the instrument's convergent validity. Feedback of the participants was obtained by a one-page evaluation sheet. 100 patients suffering from chronic pruritus of the university hospitals of Giessen, Heidelberg, Munich and Muenster participated in the study. This questionnaire is useful in providing a comprehensive and structured approach to assessing individual patients' chronic pruritus. The validity and sensitivity of this new pruritus questionnaire will require examination in further studies.
慢性瘙痒在临床上可能表现为不同的持续时间、强度和性质。目前尚无系统评估这些参数的问卷。本研究展示了一份由该领域4位专家编制的针对德语区的瘙痒问卷（AGP问卷）。它包含有关瘙痒的病程、强度和性质、总体健康状况、社会人口统计学数据、生活质量（QoL）以及瘙痒认知等问题。还使用了标准化问卷，如SF - 12健康调查（回顾期4周）、医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）和皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）来评估该工具的收敛效度。通过一张单页评估表获取参与者的反馈。来自吉森、海德堡、慕尼黑和明斯特大学医院的100名慢性瘙痒患者参与了该研究。这份问卷有助于提供一种全面且结构化的方法来评估个体患者的慢性瘙痒。这份新的瘙痒问卷的效度和敏感性还需要在进一步研究中进行检验。
