Akne vulgaris hastalarının değerlendirilmesi için hangi yaşam kalite ölçeği kullanılmalıdır? CADI ya da DYKİ? Bir prospektif çalışma

Amaç: Akne vulgaris, sık görülen, kişinin yaşam kalitesini ve sosyal hayatını olumsuz yönde etkileyen dermatolojik bir hastalıktır. Klinik çalışmalarda, akne vulgarisin hastaların yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkileyen en sık hastalıklardan olduğu görülmektedir. Dermatolojik Yaşam Kalite İndeksi (DYKİ); dermatolojik hastalıklar için yaygın olarak kullanılan bir indeks iken, Cardiff Akne Kısıtlılık İndeksi (CADI) akneye özgü değerlendirme skalası olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, akne hastalarında hangi ölçeğin daha uygun ve pratik olduğunu tespit etmek ve iki skala arasındaki farkları değerlendirmektir.Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda Aralık 2015- Kasım 2016 tarihleri arasında Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve akne tanısı alan toplam 273 hastanın akne skorları Global Akne Skorlama Sistemi (GAGS) (aralık 0 ile 44 arası) ile belirlenip ardından DYKİ (aralık 0 ile 30 arası) ve CADI skorları (aralık 0 ile 20 arası) ile yaşam kalitesi belirlendi.Sonuçlar: Hastaların GAGS skoru ortalaması 20,3, CADI skoru ortalaması 6,1 iken DYKİ ortalaması 6,0 idi. DYKİ ile CADI skorları arasında pozitif korelasyon mevcuttu (r=0,639, p<0,001). Akne lezyonlarının dağılımı ile yaşam kalite ölçekleri arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildiğinde; alın lokalizasyonu olan grupta CADI skoru, alın lokalizasyonu olmayan gruptan anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p=0,012). Sırt üst lokalizasyonu olan grupta CADI ve DYKİ skoru sırt lokalizasyonu olmayan gruptan anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (sırasıyla p=0,001ve p= 0,017). Tartışma: Çalışmamızda DYKİ ve CADI yaşam ölçeklerinin, akne tanılı olgularda yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmede birbirine üstünlükleri olmadığı ancak yüz yerleşimli akne vakalarında yaşam kalitesinin etkilenme düzeyinin CADI skoru ile daha net belirlenebileceği gözlemlendi.

Which quality of life scale should be used to evaluate acne vulgaris patients? CADI or DLQI? A prospective study

Aim: Acne vulgaris is one of the most common diseases that affects quality of life. While the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is the most frequently used life quality index for dermatologic disorders, the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) is an acne-spesific quality of life scale. The aim of this study was to determine which scale should be more appropriate and practical to evaluate the quality of life in acne patients and to compare the differences between two scales.Methods: Acne scores of 273 patients who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic between December 2015 and November 2016 were determined by the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) (range 0 to 44). The DLQI (range 0 to 30) and CADI scores (range 0 to 20) were calculated to evaluate the effect of patients' quality of life.Results: The mean GAGS score of the patients was 20.3, and the mean of CADI score was 6.1, while the mean of DLQI was 6.0. There was a significant positive correlation between total GAGS score and CADI and DLQI (r=0.639, p<0.001). When the relationship between the distribution of acne lesions and quality of life scales was evaluated; CADI score was significantly higher in the forehead localization group than in the non-forehead localization group (p=0.012), and the CADI and DLQI scores were higher in the upper back group than the group without back localization (p=0.001and p= 0.017 respectively). Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that the DLQI and CADI scales were not superior to each other in evaluating the quality of life in patients with acne. Besides, we think that the effect of quality of life on facial acne cases can be determined more clearly with CADI scale.
