Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical severity of atopic dermatitis and its impact on the quality of life of adult patients. Research subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 126 AD patients at Can Tho Dermatology Hospital and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Can Tho. Disease severity was assessed using the SCORAD index, and QoL was evaluated using DLQI. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Results: The mean age was 45,12 ± 21,56 years; 55,6% were male. Pruritus (97,6%) and eczematous lesions (98,4%) were the most common clinical features. Acute-stage AD accounted for 38.9%. The mean SCORAD score was 33,78 ± 14,22, with the moderate group dominating (57,1%). Regarding DLQI, most patients experienced a significant impact on QoL (57,9%). A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between SCORAD severity and DLQI impairment (p <0,05). Conclusions: Patients with atopic dermatitis in this study demonstrated characteristic clinical manifestations, with pruritus being the most prominent feature. The majority presented with moderate disease severity and showed substantial impairment in quality of life. The observed correlation between SCORAD and DLQI reinforces that increasing disease severity is associated with a proportional decline in quality of life.
