Table 3.

Disease severity and health-related quality of life scores of AD patients

Variables Mean (SD) Median (Q1-Q3)
EQ-5D-3L index (− 0.865 to 1) 0.85 (0.15) 0.85 (0.80–1.00)
EQ-5D-5L index (− 0.848 to 1) 0.82 (0.22) 0.89 (0.78–0.97)
EQ VAS (0–100) (missing = 1) 69.15 (20.50) 75.00 (57.00–85.00)
DLQI (0–30) 13.44 (8.46) 14.00 (6.00–20.00)
Skindex-16 total (0–100) 56.84 (27.46) 61.49 (35.64–80.04)
 Symptoms subscale (0–100) 62.44 (29.64) 68.75 (37.50–87.50)
 Emotions subscale (0–100) 61.21 (29.18) 69.05 (40.48–85.71)
 Functioning subscale (0–100) 46.87 (31.48) 46.67 (20.00–74.17)
Itching VAS (0–10) (past one month) (missing = 1) 7.01 (2.92) 8.00 (5.00–9.00)
Sleeping VAS (0–10) (past one month) (missing = 3) 5.51 (3.53) 6.00 (2.00–9.00)
PtGA VAS (0–10) (missing = 1) 6.04 (2.74) 7.00 (4.00–8.00)
oSCORAD (0–83) 35.91 (14.61) 36.90 (26.60–46.73)
EASI (0–72) 15.76 (11.99) 14.40 (6.10–21.98)
IGA (0–5) 2.77 (1.04) 3.00 (2.00–3.00)

For EQ-5D-3L, EQ-5D-5L and EQ VAS higher scores refer to better health status. For all other measures higher scores represent worse health status
