SurveysSkindex mini [Skindex Mini]
Definition
The Skindex mini is a patient reported outcome instrument that evaluates the effects of skin disease in three areas of patient quality of life: symptoms, 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]
