Abstract The pharmaceutical approach to skin disease has been hugely successful, but despite effective drugs being available and used, there are still vast numbers of people who continue have some level persisting experience quality life (QoL) impairment. So the question that needs be answered, while we await further advances in our drug‐based armamentarium, is how can improve patients’ QoL, beyond drugs? A working group was formed from members EADV Task Force on QoL Patient Oriented...
Abstract New treatment options may lead to an increased interest in using reliable and sensitive instruments assess health‐related quality of life people with alopecia areata (AA). The purpose this paper is present current knowledge about assessment AA. dermatology‐specific Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was the most widely reported instrument used Three AA‐specific (Alopecia Areata Symptom Impact Scale, Alopecia Patients' Life) three hair disease‐specific (Hairdex, Scalpdex...
Members of the European Academy Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Force on Quality Life (QoL) Patient Oriented Outcomes reviewed instruments available for health-related (HR) QoL assessment in vitiligo together with external experts (including representatives EADV Vitiligo Force) have made practical recommendations concerning patients. The Index (DLQI) was most frequently used HRQoL instrument, making comparison results between different countries possible. Several vitiligo-specific...

Parents interviewed by project staff regard to their perception QoL issues skin disease children.Focus in Ukraine Romania represented eight boys 12 girls from 3 months...
The use of photographs to diagnose and monitor skin diseases is gaining ground.To investigate the validity reliability photographic assessments atopic dermatitis (AD) severity.AD severity was evaluated in clinic by two assessors using Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI), SCOring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA). Participants photographed lesions with their own smartphone completed a questionnaire about extent eczema same day from home. were assessed twice an 8...
The first dermatology-specific proxy health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument for children 0-4 years old with skin diseases, the Infants and Toddlers Dermatology Quality Life (InToDermQoL), was recently developed. In order to avoid problem cross-cultural inequivalence focus groups work pilot tests were organized simultaneously in all national centres project. InToDermQoL showed good comprehensibility, clarity acceptance.To validate questionnaire during international field...
Abstract The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) has started the ‘Healthy Skin @ Work’ campaign aimed to raise awareness among public EU authorities on frequency impact occupational skin diseases (OSDs).

Background/Objectives: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a hereditary condition characterized by skin and mucosal fragility, with various degrees of severity. This study’s objectives are to obtain updated epidemiological data that will help identify the specific types subtypes EB, determine case distribution in Romania, establish incidence prevalence condition. Methods: population-based observational study included Romanian patients collected from 2012 2024. The following information was...
Background Digital imaging of dermatological patients is a novel approach to remote assessment and has recently become more relevant since telehealth decentralized clinical trials are gaining ground. Objective We aimed investigate whether photographs taken by smartphone adequate quality allow severity assessments be made explore the usefulness an established atopic dermatitis instrument on photograph evaluation.
