Key facts

Emotion score [Skindex-16]
Emotion score
Skindex Emotion Scores combine the responses to questions concerning worry, embarrassment, shame, frustration and depression, which are then converted to a linear scale of 0 to 100. Each scale score for a given domain (Symptoms, Emotions, or Functioning) represents the average of the patient's responses to questions for that domain. Higher scores are associated with lower quality of life. [PMID22284137]
