Quality of life and risk factors in patients with herpes zoster

Conclusions: More than half of the patients with HZ had moderate to severe pain in the past 24 hours, which had a serious negative impact on the physical and mental health of the patients. Elderly patients, acute patients and patients with complications had lower health utility values and worse health status. We suggest that eligible people be vaccinated with HZ vaccine as soon as possible.PMID:36372770 | DOI:10.3760/cma.j.cn112137-20220627-01416
