背景：皮肌炎影响可见皮肤，并引起影响患者生活质量的疾病症状。方法：71例皮肌炎或皮肌炎合并肌炎患者完成两项生活质量测量（皮肤指数-16和皮肤病生活质量指数）和瘙痒视觉模拟量表。疾病严重程度由医师全球评估评估。结果：两组患者的Dermatology Life Quality Index平均得分为10.7，Skindex-16平均得分为51.1。瘙痒对皮肤病学生活质量指数和皮肤指数-16都有影响。女性的生活质量较差。局限性：在这些分析中没有评估治疗对生活质量的影响。结论：皮肌炎患者的生活质量损害大于银屑病和特应性皮炎患者。瘙痒是影响皮肌炎患者生活质量的重要可治因素。
Background: Dermatomyositis affects visible skin and causes disease symptoms that can affect patients' quality of life (QOL).Methods: In all, 71 patients with dermatomyositis or dermatomyositis sine myositis completed two QOL measures (the Skindex-16 and the Dermatology Life Quality index) and a visual analog scale for pruritus. Disease severity was assessed by Physician's Global Assessment.Results: The mean Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 10.7 and the mean Skindex-16 score was 51.1. Itching contributed to impact on both the Dermatology Life Quality Index and Skindex-16. Females reported worse QOL.Limitations: The effect of treatment on quality of life was not assessed in these analyses.Conclusion: QOL impairment in dermatomyositis is greater than in other skin conditions including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Pruritus is an important treatable factor that significantly impacts QOL for patients with dermatomyositis.
