Özet
Aim: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, itchy, inflammatory skin disease that progresses with exacerbations. This study was planned to determine how atopic dermatitis affects the quality of life of patients and their families. Material and Methods: One hundred twenty patients with atopic der-matitis, as diagnosed using the Hanifin Rajka diagnostic criteria, and their families were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as active and remission. Disease severity was classified as mild, moderate, and severe according to the SCORAD index. Total IgE, peripheral eosinophil counts, and allergy skin tests were performed. Lit-erate patients completed the Childrens’ Dermatology Life Quality Index by themselves. The Infants’ Dermatology Life Quality Index was completed by their families. Also, the Family Dermatological Quality of Life Index was completed by one of the parents for each patient. Results: Among the 120 patients who participated in the study, 76 (63.33%) were male and 44 (36.66%) were female. The mean age was 4.36±3.52 years. The quality of life survey scores were statistically significantly lower in the remission group compared with the active group (p<0.05). The quality of life questionnaire scores were higher in the group with a severe SCORAD index (p<0.05). There was no significant correlation between total IgE, peripheral eosinophil count, skin test results, and questionnaire scores (p>0.05). At least one allergen susceptibility was detected in 65% of the patients who underwent allergy skin tests. Conclusion: Quality of life was affected negatively in patients with atopic dermatitis and their families. In this study, the quality of life survey results were found to be higher in the active group and the group with a high SCORAD index compared with the remission group and the group with a low SCORAD index. Based on this finding, we can conclude that quality of life is negatively affected by high disease activity.
