dc.description.abstractBackground and Design: Skin diseases affect physical and social activities and psychological status. The aim of this study was to investigate the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores in patients with lichen planus and compared with that in psoriasis patients and healthy controls. Material and Method: Thirty consecutive patients with lichen planus, 30 with psoriasis vulgaris attending our dermatology outpatient clinic and 30 sex- and age-matched healthy controls completed the DLQI. Results: Total DLQI scores of patients with lichen planus (9.60±7.32) and psoriasis (9.50±6.10) were comparable (p>0.05) and significantly higher than that of healthy controls (0.67±0.80) (p<0.001). No significant difference were detected between the subscale scores in patients with lichen planus and psoriasis (p>0.05). Lichen planus patients with oral involvement demonstrated higher mean DLQI score than that of lichen planus patients without oral involvement (13.27±8.05 vs. 7.47±6.11, p=0.034). Conclusion: The quality of life (QoL) of patients with lichen planus is impaired as much as that of psoriasis. The DLQI questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the QoL in patients with lichen planus.en_US
