The impact of vitiligo on quality of life (QOL) of children is not well studied. In this cross-sectional study, QOL in the form of Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) was assessed in 114 children with vitiligo over a year. The mean CDLQI was 2.72 ± 3.35. There was a significant correlation of body surface area involved with the DLQI and the impairment was higher in older children. The psychosocial burden of vitiligo in children cannot be ignored and must be tackled early on in order to prevent an ever lasting impact on young minds.
白癜风对儿童生活质量(QOL)的影响尚未得到充分研究。在这项横断面研究中,我们在一年的时间里对 114 名白癜风儿童进行了儿童皮肤病生活质量指数(CDLQI)形式的 QOL 评估。平均 CDLQI 为 2.72±3.35。受影响的体表面积与 DLQI 显著相关,且大龄儿童的损伤程度更高。白癜风给儿童带来的心理社会负担不容忽视,必须及早解决,以防止对年轻一代的心灵产生持久的影响。
