258 National survey of quality of life and disease severity in patients with congenital ichthyosis

We examined the relationship between disease severity and QOL in patients with CI, especially in patients with harlequin ichthyosis (HI) and ichthyosis: syndromic forms (Netherton syndrome, Sj ögren-Larsson syndrome, Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome, keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy). Patients with HI or ichthyosis: syndromic forms who were aged 8 years or older and who participated in a multicenter retrospective questionnaire survey in Japan were assessed by derm atology life quality index (DLQI, range of 0-30) and CI disease severity score (range of 0-100).
