Since its introduction in 1994, the Dermatology Life Questionnaire Index (DLQI) has played an important role in assessing dermatology-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and has affected several medical decision-making processes. However, the psychometric requirements for instruments have evolved over the years, and the DQLI is failing these new standards. Therefore, it is time to move forward and use valuable alternatives because the DLQI's scientific limitations outweigh the practicalities of its use.
自 1994 年问世以来,皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)在评估皮肤病学特有的健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)方面发挥了重要作用,并影响了多个医疗决策过程。然而,多年来,仪器的心理测量学要求已经发展,DLQI 未能满足这些新标准。因此,是时候向前迈进,使用有价值的替代品了,因为 DLQI 的科学局限性超过了其实用性。
