Article Synopsis
- Acne has significant negative effects on the psychological and social quality of life (QoL) for those affected.
- The European Dermatology Forum recommends incorporating QoL measures into acne treatment to better address these impacts.
- Various Task Forces have compiled information on QoL assessment tools used for acne patients, including their validation, usage purposes, limitations, and overall recommendations for improvement.
The aim of this study was to describe the many ways in which quality of life (QoL) measurement may potentially be advantageous in routine clinical dermatology practice. Thirteen members of the EADV Task Force on Quality of Life, eight dermatologists, three health psychologists, one epidemiologist and one pharmacoepidemiologist, independently listed all of the ways they thought this may be advantageous. A total of 108 different ways of using QoL information in clinical practice were suggested (median per participant = 8, range = 4-15), and were classified into 20 descriptive groups.

Objectives: In a cross-sectional study, we aimed to examine (i) satisfaction with treatment, (ii) patient characteristics associated with satisfaction and (iii) HRQoL in Dutch patients with LS.
Methods: Members of the Dutch LS Patient Association (n = 750) were invited to complete a web-based survey.
