Key facts

Skindex mini [Skindex Mini]
Skindex mini
The Skindex mini is a patient reported outcome instrument that evaluates the effects of skin disease in three areas of patient quality of lifesymptoms, emotions and functioning. It can be used to assess quality of life impact, regardless of specific skin disease. Skindex mini is similar to the Skindex-16, but has just three questions, one for each domain. While its brevity reduces the level of detail available in the Skindex-16, it is a fast and reliable means of gauging the impact of skin disease on patient quality of life. [PMID: 30590072]
