摘要
导读:如今,痤疮对患者心理的影响是显而易见的医生和患者自己。关于痤疮与生活质量(QOL)关系的研究在中东地区很少。方法:前瞻性横断面研究纳入247例患者。使用全球痤疮分级系统(GAGS)评估痤疮的严重程度。然后,患者被要求填写阿拉伯文版本的皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)和卡迪夫痤疮残疾指数(CADI)。结果:两组患者的平均CADI评分为6±3.2分,DLQI评分为9.8±5.5分。CADI与GAGS、性别、脸颊、下巴、胸部、上背部病变部位呈弱显著正相关(p≤0.05)。此外,只有GAGS与DLQI呈弱显著正相关(r = 0.125, p = 0.000)。结论:痤疮对受试者的生活质量有明显的负面影响。评估痤疮患者的生活质量和精神咨询被建议作为痤疮患者健康管理方法的标准措施。
The Impact of Acne on Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Study from Egypt.
Introduction: Nowadays, the impact of acne on the psyche of patients is evident to physicians and patients themselves. Studies concerned with the relation between acne and quality of life (QOL) are scarce in the Middle East.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 247 patients. The severity of acne was evaluated using the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). Then, patients were asked to fill in the Arabic versions of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI).
Results: The mean CADI and DLQI scores were 6 ± 3.2 and 9.8 ± 5.5, respectively. There was a weakly significant positive correlation between CADI and GAGS, gender, cheek, chin, chest, and upper back localization of lesions (p ≤ 0.05). Moreover, there was a weakly significant positive correlation between only GAGS and DLQI (r = 0.125, p = 0.000).
Conclusion: Acne has an evident negative impact on the QOL of the participants. Assessing the QOL of acne patients and psychiatric consultation are advised to be standard measures of any management approach for acne patients for their well-being.
