Quality of life measurement in dermatology: a practical guide
Abstract
The purpose of this review is to guide clinicians and researchers who wish to use quality of life (QOL) measures in dermatology. Definitions of key words are given, with a guide to descriptions of the adverse effects of skin disease. The reasons for measuring QOL in dermatology are explained, with descriptions of the use of disease specific, dermatology specific, general health and utility measure questionnaires. Measurement methods of QOL in children and the family impact of skin disease are also described. There is advice about how to choose which method to use, and where to find the questionnaires.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
