Abstract

The DLQI is the most frequently used questionnaire for evaluating the impact of dermatological diseases on patients’ QOL. Twelve hundred and two new Japanese outpatients from the Department of Dermatology, Kyushu University Hospital, were assessed for the influence of age, gender and diagnostic category on patients’ QOL using the Japanese version of the DLQI. We found that women had a worse QOL on the emotion scale than men and younger patients had a poorer QOL than older ones. Eczema patients had the highest mean scores throughout the various diagnostic categories, whereas patients with tumors had the lowest. We also compared the results of the DLQI with those from the Skindex16.
