Development and preliminary evaluation of Chinese Vitiligo Quality of Life Scale (CVQLS)
This study developed the Chinese Vitiligo Quality of Life Scale (CVQLS) to measure the quality of life of vitiligo patients in China. Compared to the commonly used DLQI, the CVQLS removed items related to skin disease symptoms while incorporating concerns specific to Chinese patients, such as the economic burden. The scale is thus tailored to the needs of Chinese vitiligo patients. Preliminary results indicate that the CVQLS has good reliability, validity, and discriminative ability.
