What does a given score really mean? Although there is no standard approach, several methods exist to facilitate the interpretation of HRQL scores.Prinsen CALindeboom Rde Korte JThe Journal of investigative dermatology.Prinsen CAC, Lindeboom R, Korte J de. In- terpretation of Skindex-29 Scores:...
Furthermore, we found a difference in the total score of Skindex-29 among patients with different levels of being bothered by the side-effects of treatment which was measured by the item 18 of Skindex-29. The more bothered by the side-effects of treatment, the worse quality of life ...
The utilization of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires in routine clinical practice is hampered by several factors, including their length and thus the time needed to complete and score them. For this reason, growing efforts are devoted both to create short questionnaires and to...

A high correlation was observed with the DLQI score: symptoms (rho = 0.69) and psychosocial conditions (rho = 0.75). The instrument's two-dimensional structure was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. Temporal stability (ICC > 0.9) and score responsiveness (p ≤ 0.02) were verified. ...
The corresponding Skindex-29 cut-off scores for severely impaired HRQL were as follows: > or =52 points on symptoms, > or =39 on emotions, > or =37 on functioning, and > or =44 on the overall score. The estimated cut-off scores can be used in clinical practice to identify patients ...
We measured QoL using the Spanish version of the Skindex-29. Results: Forty patients fulfilled the NF1 National Institute of Health criteria when we recruited patients. The median age was 42.00 years (IQR 26.5 -53.75). The median total Skindex-29 score was 12.3 (IQ...
Results: The global score of Skindex-29 showed the normal distribution. Cronbach's 伪 reliability coefficients were found to be high to very high for all Skindex-29 indexes. Factor analysis yielded four factors, in contrast to the original version of the questionnaire, for which a three-factor...
Nearly two‐thirds (64.0%, 55/86) of our respondents had a Skindex‐29 score that revealed their quality of life was impaired at least mildly by skin disease. The Skindex‐29 and Skindex‐Teen demonstrated good reliability; there was substantial concordance between responses to the ...
