Alopecia is a challenging problem for both physicians and patients in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Alopecia usually has negative effects on patients' emotional and psychological well-being. Several studies have examined the effect of alopecia on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and have consistently reported poor scores. However, deeper insight into the impact of alopecia on affected individuals and its measurement using HRQoL questionnaires is lacking in the literature. In this article, the methods for measuring the HRQoL of patients with alopecia were comprehensively reviewed. Their applications and limitations were also discussed.
脱发在诊断和治疗方面对医生和患者来说都是一个具有挑战性的问题。脱发通常会对患者的情绪和心理健康产生负面影响。几项研究已经考察了脱发对患者健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的影响，并一直报告得分较低。然而，文献中缺乏对脱发对受影响个体的影响及其使用HRQoL问卷进行测量的更深入见解。在本文中，对测量脱发患者HRQoL的方法进行了全面综述。还讨论了它们的应用和局限性。
