Résumé
Port-wine stains (PWS) are predominantly located on the face and neck. Hence, PWS affect not only aesthetic appearance but may also cause psychological distress. However, very few studies have researched on the quality of life (QoL) in Chinese patients with PWS. To evaluate QoL in patients with PWS. Skindex-29 and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used to investigate the QoL of the patients with PWS and healthy controls. In total, 198 adults with PWS and 200 healthy controls were included. The scores of symptomatic, emotional and functional dimensions of Skindex-29 in the observational group were significantly higher as compared with the control group ( The QoL of patients with PWS is impaired. Patients' QoL is negatively influenced by female gender, lesion location and treatment history. The Skindex-29 scale seems to be more applicable to the study of QoL of patients with PWS.
