104 Willingness-to-pay of patients with chronic skin diseases: A pilot study

Chronic skin diseases have significant impacts on the quality of life (QoL) of the patients, although not life threatening. However, current QoL measurements often do not adequately reflect the actual disease burden of the affected person. Willingness-to-pay (WTP) questionnaire was developed to assess disease burden economically. In this pilot study, we evaluated QoL and WTP in patients with five chronic skin diseases; alopecia areata (AA), atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic urticaria (CU), psoriasis, and vitiligo.
