Assessing Quality of Life in Genital Lichen Sclerosus: The Role of Disease Severity and Localization—A Swedish Prospective Cohort Study
Disease severity in genital LSc is closely associated with QoL impairment. This is, to our knowledge, the first study to examine the correlation between a clinical severity score and DLQI. While anatomical site did not significantly affect scores, certain sites may have a disproportionate impact, underscoring the complex ways in which LSc affects patients' lives.
