Standardized quality of life (QOL) assessments can provide important and clinically relevant information. There is currently a lack of standardization in QOL assessments used in AD. We sought to determine the content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, differential reporting, responsiveness, floor or ceiling effects, and feasibility of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), ItchyQOL and 5-dimensions (5-D) itch scales for assessing burden of AD in adults and compare their performance. Self-administered questionnaires and skin-examination were performed in 340 adults with AD in a dermatology practice setting. DLQI, ItchyQOL and 5-D all had good content validity. DLQI, mean ItchyQOL and 5-D itch all had strong correlations with frequency of AD symptoms (POEM), intensity of itch (NRS-itch), and moderate correlations with AD severity (EASI and SCORAD) (Spearman correlations, P<0.0001 for all). DLQI and 5-D itch showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.88 and 0.82), though ItchyQOL appeared to have several redundant items (alpha=0.96). Uniform and non-uniform differential item functioning by age, sex and/or race/ethnicity was found for multiple items in DLQI, ItchyQOL and 5-D itch. DLQI, ItchyQOL and 5-D itch scores all demonstrated responsiveness, though ItchyQOL demonstrated the greatest responsiveness. There were no floor or ceiling effects for total scores. The median time to completion of DLQI, ItchyQOL and 5-D itch was 2 minutes. DLQI, ItchyQOL and 5-D itch scales all showed good content and construct validity, and responsiveness in the assessment of AD in adults, and were feasible for use in clinical trials and practice.
