Psychometric validation of the Spanish alopecia areata–life impact questionnaire
The SAALIQ is a disease-specific and culturally adapted tool that enables accurate measurement of the QoL impact of AA in Spanish-speaking patients. Its psychometric performance, validated cut-off points, and ability to capture domains overlooked by generic measures make it an essential resource for patient-centered care, clinical trials, and international research. Further studies are warranted to confirm the generalizability of our findings.
