“…The mean DLQI and CADI scores in our study were similar to previous studies [10,[14][15][16][17][18]. However, the studies performed on students at their school, reported lower DLQI and CADI scores [19,20].…”

Aim: Acne vulgaris is one of the most common diseases that affects quality of life. While the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is the most frequently used life quality index for dermatologic disorders, the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) is an acne-spesific quality of life scale. The aim of this study was to determine which scale should be more appropriate and practical to evaluate the quality of life in acne patients and to compare the differences between two scales. Methods: Acne scores of 273 patients who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic between December 2015 and November 2016 were determined by the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) (range 0 to 44). The DLQI (range 0 to 30) and CADI scores (range 0 to 20) were calculated to evaluate the effect of patients' quality of life. Results: The mean GAGS score of the patients was 20.3, and the mean of CADI score was 6.1, while the mean of DLQI was 6.0. There was a significant positive correlation between total GAGS score and CADI and DLQI (r=0.639, p<0.001). When the relationship between the distribution of acne lesions and quality of life scales was evaluated; CADI score was significantly higher in the forehead localization group than in the non-forehead localization group (p=0.012), and the CADI and DLQI scores were higher in the upper back group than the group without back localization (p=0.001and p= 0.017 respectively). Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that the DLQI and CADI scales were not superior to each other in evaluating the quality of life in patients with acne. Besides, we think that the effect of quality of life on facial acne cases can be determined more clearly with CADI scale.

“…26,27 In present study it was observed that there was a moderate to very large effect on 67.7 % based on DLQI scores similar to study by Safizedeh H et al who found that there was a moderate to very large influence on quality of life in 51.8% of patients Haritha et al also found moderate to very large effect in 64.18% of patients. 28,29 In present study it was observed that there was medium to high effect on 68.7% of patients based on CADI scores which indicates high psychosocial burden from acne. Similarly hanisha et al reported that based on specific responses of CADI 71.1% of the patients felt aggressive, frustrated or embrassed as a result of having acne.…”

Background: In India, prevalence data from dermatology clinic in a teaching hospital in Varanasi reported acne in 50.6% of boys and 38.13% of girls in the age group 12-17 years. Though it is considered to be merely a cosmetic problem, it is associated with considerable psychological impairment which is comparable with certain chronic diseases. Acne patients are prone to low self-esteem, low self-confidence and social dysfunction which may lead to anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsiveness and sometimes suicidal ideation. Acne affects the functional abilities of individuals and patients have higher rate of unemployment when compared to those without acne. Acne also may have negative impact on personal relationships, sports activities and employment opportunities in teens and young adults. The management of acne must take into account the impact of acne on the patient's quality of life. So the present study was carried out to determine the impact of acne and its clinical severity on quality of life among patients of different grades of acne patients in various age groups. Methods: The current cross sectional study was conducted in Patients diagnosed as acne vulgaris attending OPD of PCMS and RC Bhopal (India) in department of dermatology for a period of 2 year. (November 2012 -October 2014. 300 patients attending the Dermatology OPD with diagnosis of acne vulgaris were taken for the study. Patients aged 16 -35 years were included in our study. A detailed history was taken after obtaining consent from all the participants of study. Cardiff Acne disability index (CADI) and Dermatology life quality index (DLQI) were administered on patients to determine the impact of acne vulgaris on quality of life (QOL). Data was analyzed to compare the quality of life indices (CADI and DLQI) for duration and severity of acne. Results: Mean age of study population was 20.69 years. There was a male preponderance with ratio of 1.04:1 (M:F). According to this study 49% of patients had acne vulgaris for less than 1year. In present study maximum number 63.7% of patients presented with lesions over face followed by 14.7% of patients having lesions over face and back. According to DLQI scores of acne showed no effect in 4.3% of the patients, small effect in 26.3% of the patients, moderate effect in 38.7% of patients, very large effect in 29% of patients and extremely large effects on 1.7% of patients. According to CADI scores of acne showed low effect in 31.3% of the patients, majority had medium effect in 56.7% of patients and high effect was seen on 12 % of patients. Conclusions: Overall our study showed that quality of life is significantly impaired in patients of severe acne vulgaris. Use of these simple QOL measures as a part of integral clinical strategy will improve the outcome.

Krejci Manwaring et al reported a positive correlation between acne severity and poorer quality of life.…”
