The PR value of 3.33 (95% CI: 1.614-6.879) indicates vitiligo patients have at least a moderate to considerable influence on their quality of life by three times and at most six times. Based on the results of bivariate statistical tests using chi-square, the p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means the result is significant.
