Lebensqualität und Berufsdermatosen – Entwicklung und Überprüfung eines Fragebogens zur Lebensqualität bei Berufsdermatosen (LIOD – Life Quality Index Occupational Dermatoses)

Abstract

The validated LIOD questionnaire is a valuable addition to existing instruments in dermatology. LIOD may be used to gain data reflecting the efficacy of therapeutic strategies comparable to medical data.

Multicentre cohort study ‘Rehabilitation of Occupational Skin Diseases – Optimization and Quality Assurance of Inpatient Management (ROQ)’: results from a 3‐year follow‐up

“…In addition, the patients were asked to provide self‐assessment of disease severity, and how confident they were that they would be able to remain in their occupations. At the same time, the quality of life was evaluated with both the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Life Quality Index Occupational Dermatoses (LIOD) . Among other variables regarding occupational stress and individual skin protective behaviour, the total number of days of absence from work attributable to OSDs was assessed.…”

First results from the multicentre study Rehabilitation of Occupational Skin Diseases – Optimization and Quality Assurance of Inpatient Management (ROQ)

“…Internal, orthopaedic and neurological or psychiatric comorbidities were also documented. In addition, the patients' self‐evaluations of OSD, motivation and quality of life [Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI); Life Quality Index Occupational Dermatoses (LIOD)] (24, 25) were collected. Important information on occupational activities, individual skin protection, occupational burdens, the disease course before inpatient therapy and legal and insurance aspects were also documented.…”
