Article Synopsis
- Vitiligo significantly impacts the quality of life (QOL) of individuals in the skin of color (SOC) population, leading to lower self-esteem and increased stigma, particularly due to more visible depigmentation.
- A study conducted with 113 vitiligo patients in Pakistan showed a mean Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 9.39, indicating the extent of their challenges.
- Female patients and those with vitiligo universalis reported higher DLQI scores, emphasizing the need for targeted healthcare services for the SOC population affected by this condition.
Background: While the prevalence of vitiligo is similar across racial and ethnic groups, the effects of vitiligo vary by demographic group, culture, and skin color, with darker-skinned individuals facing greater stigma due to increased visibility of the disease.1,2 The recruitment of diverse participants that are representative of the United States (US) population is crucial to ensuring the generalizability of findings and understanding the impacts of vitiligo across diverse patient groups. Objectives: This study aimed to determine demographic reporting trends in US vitiligo clinical trials and to determine whether participants are representative of the US population.
