Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada atopik dermatitli çocukların ve annelerinin dermatolojik yaşam kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal-Metotlar: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya atopik dermatit tanısı olan 38 çocuk ve anneleri dahil edildi. Atopik dermatitin klinik şiddeti SCORAD indeksi ile sınıflandırıldı. Çocukların dermatolojik yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için “Çocuk Dermatoloji Yaşam Kalitesi İndeksi (CDLQI)” anketi anneler tarafından dolduruldu. Ayrıca anneye “Dermatoloji Yaşam Kalitesi İndeksi (DLQI)” uygulandı. Dermatolojik yaşam kalitesinin yanı sıra çocukların yaşı, cinsiyeti, laboratuvar değerleri, annelerin yaşı da incelendi. P<0.05 istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Atopik dermatitli 38 çocuğun 15'i (%39.5) kız, 23'ü (%60.5) erkekti. Çocukların ve annelerin ortanca yaşları sırasıyla 7.0 yıl (5.0-16.0) ve 38.0 yıl (26.0-52.0) idi. Çocukların %52,6'sında orta derecede atopik dermatit vardı. CDLQI ve DLQI medyan skorları sırasıyla 12.0 (1.0-29.0) ve 15.0 (1.0-27.0) idi. Orta/şiddetli atopik dermatitte CDLQI medyan skoru anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0.001). Çoklu alerjen duyarlılığı ve cinsiyetin CDLQI skorları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi yoktu (p>0.05).
Sonuç: Orta-şiddetli atopik dermatiti olan çocukların dermatolojik yaşam kalitesi daha fazla bozulmuştur. Hastalığın klinik kontrolü ile dermatolojik yaşam kalitesi de artırılabilir.

Evaluation of the Dermatological Quality of Life of Children Diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis and Their Mothers

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the dermatologic quality of life of children with atopic dermatitis and their mothers.
Material and Methods: 38 children with the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and their mothers were included in this cross sectional type of study. The clinical severity of atopic dermatitis was classified with the SCORAD index. The questionnaire “The Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI)” was filled by the mothers to evaluate the dermatological quality of life of the children. In addition, the “Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)” was applied to the mother. The age, gender, laboratory values of the children, mothers' age were examined in addition to dermatologic life quality. P<0.05 was accepted as statistical significance level.
Results: Fifteen (39.5%) of 38 children with atopic dermatitis were girls and 23 (60.5%) were boys. The median age of children and mothers were 7.0 years (5.0-16.0) and 38.0 years (26.0-52.0), respectively. Of the children 52.6% had moderate atopic dermatitis. The median scores of CDLQI and DLQI were 12.0 (1.0-29.0), 15.0 (1.0-27.0), respectively. The median score of CDLQI with moderate/severe atopic dermatitis was significantly higher (p <0.001). Multiple allergen sensitivity and gender had no significant effect on CDLQI scores (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The dermatological quality of life of children with moderate-severe atopic dermatitis impaired more. With the clinical control of the disease, the dermatological quality of life could also be increased.
