“…High PASI was associated to poor QoL in our study (p=0.002). It is consistent with results reported by several authors [13,14,16]. A multicentre, prospective study conducted in Spain found psoriasis severity was the primary factor affecting QoL, using PASI for the multivariate modeling [23].…”

“…This score is higher than results reported by several authors (Table III) [8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, Maoua et al reported a very poor QoL in psoriatic Tunisian patients (mean DLQI: 16,1); symptoms and psychic were the dimensions most altered [14].…”

“…A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease. Fifty percent of patients reported a great effect of psoriasis in their QoL (DLQI: [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], 2% had a very important effect (DLQI>21), 35% had a moderate effect (DLQI: 6-10), 11% had a small effect (DLQI: 2-5) and only 1% had no effect of the disease on his quality of life.…”

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory and multifactorial dermatosis that impairs quality of life (QoL). Health-related QoL has become an important element in medical decision making along with the effectiveness and the harmlessness of the treatments. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of psoriasis in the QoL of patients with psoriasis by using the DLQI scales. METHODS:A cross-sectional study, during ten months, was conducted in the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital Joseph Raseta Befelatanana Antananarivo Madagascar including patients more than 15 years-old with moderate to severe psoriasis. The severity of psoriasis was assessed using the "Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)". QoL of patients with psoriasis was evaluated by using the DLQI scales.RESULTS: 80 patients were included, their mean age was 36.52 years and the male to female was 1.5:1. The mean DLQI score was 13.85. Symptoms, feelings and psychic were the most altered dimensions. QoL was impaired in young patients, single, having medium level education. Even though patients with disease duration more than 5 years had higher DLQI score than other patients, the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.36). Furthermore, clinical presentation of psoriasis didn't influence patient's QoL (p=0.73). Patients with nail involvement had QoL impaired but the difference with another localization was not statistically significant (p=0.2).

Even though patients with disease duration more than 5 years had higher DLQI score than other patients, the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.36). Furthermore, clinical presentation of psoriasis didn’t influence patient’s QoL (p=0.73). Patients with nail involvement had QoL impaired but the difference with another localization was not statistically significant (p=0.2).The quality of life was influenced by body area involved. The higher the body surface area involved, the more QoL is impaired (p=0.002). Furthermore, the higher the PASI, the more QoL is altered (p=0.002).CONCLUSION: Psoriasis has a negative impact in the quality of life in Malagasy patients with psoriasis, especially in younger and single patients. Worse quality of life is correlated to severity of psoriasis.

Background. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common chronic skin disease that generates considerable public-health and socioeconomic costs. This disease affects the quality of life and the occupational activity of patients. Aims. To assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients with ACD and study the impact of this disease on their work productivity. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study carried out from January 2012 to December 2014. All patients diagnosed with ACD in the Dermato-Allergology Unit of the Occupational Medicine Department at Farhat Hached University Hospital, in Sousse, were included. The impact of skin disease on the QOL of affected persons was assessed using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). The work productivity was measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Allergic Specific questionnaire (WPAI: AS). Results. The study population consisted of 150 patients. The average score of DLQI was 6.5. Over the previous 7 days, absenteeism rate was 25.9 ± 15.3%, presenteeism rate was 50.2 ± 32%, overall work productivity loss was 29.6 ± 19.4%, and daily activity impairment was 50.4 ± 32.3%. The DLQI score was significantly associated with atopy (p = 0.03), relapses strictly greater than 10 (p = 0.02), presenteeism (p <10−3), overall work productivity loss (p = 0.01), and daily activity impairment (p = 0.03). Conclusion. The impact of ACD on QOL and occupational activity seems important and requires specific attention from the occupational physician.
