Health-related quality of life among patients with facial acne − assessment of a new acne-specific questionnaire: QoL and facial acne
Abstract
The psychosocial effects of facial acne are well accepted but until recently few validated instruments existed which were suitable for use in clinical trials. The aim of this study was to assess measurement characteristics (reproducibility, correlation with acne severity, and sensitivity to detect change after acne therapy) of a new acne-specific quality of life instrument, the Acne-QoL. We found that the Acne-QoL is reliable, valid and able to distinguish differences across severity groups and improvement over 16 weeks of standard therapy. The use of the Acne-QoL should aid physicians in understanding the impact of facial acne on young adults, and may be useful in assessing therapeutic effects in acne clinical trials.

In the citing paper
“Participants also completed an Acne-Specific Quality of Life (Acne-QoL) questionnaire covering four domains (self-perception, role-emotional, role-social, and acne symptoms) at baseline and week 12; a higher score in any domain indicates improved health-related quality of life [16].”

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.
