A Comparative Study on the Measurement Properties (Criterion Validity, Informativity, and Floor and Ceiling Effects) of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Skindex-29
Skindex-29 showed better sensitivity to clinical severity, less floor effect, higher absolute informativity, and better coverage of the 'emotion' domain. Skindex-29 was found to be more effective in detecting minor HRQoL impairment than DLQI.
