Since March 2020, the UK and Ireland have entered a series of lockdowns in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic with restrictions resulting in the closure of nonessential retail, hospitality and sports with employees encouraged to work from home. In this retrospective study we have demonstrated a significant decrease in DLQI values, increase in the number of ‘not relevant’ responses (NRRs) in the DLQI and change between DLQI and the modified DLQI‐R during the pandemic. Given the restrictions imposed on our patients, it is important for clinicians to identify the number of NRRs in the DLQI and acknowledge the potential effect on treatment decisions and data collection for disease registries and clinical trials during the pandemic.
自 2020 年 3 月以来,英国和爱尔兰在冠状病毒大流行的背景下进入了一系列封锁状态,限制措施导致非必要的零售、酒店和体育业关闭,鼓励员工在家工作。在这项回顾性研究中,我们证明了 DLQI 值显著下降,DLQI 中“不相关”(NRR)回答的数量增加,以及 DLQI 和改良后的 DLQI-R 之间的变化在大流行期间。考虑到对患者的限制,临床医生识别 DLQI 中的 NRR 数量并认识到大流行期间对治疗决策和疾病登记处和临床试验数据收集的潜在影响非常重要。
