Article Synopsis
- India has the highest leprosy burden globally, significantly affecting patients' quality of life (QoL) due to deformities, yet there are few studies focusing on this issue in the country.
- The study aimed to assess QoL in 60 leprosy patients using two questionnaires (DLQI and WHOQOL-BREF) and analyze how it correlates with their demographic and clinical profiles.
- Results indicated that deformities substantially impact QoL, particularly in psychological aspects, while the DLQI was found to be practical, and the WHOQOL-BREF offered a broader evaluation across multiple life domains.
