摘要
Background/Aims: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic condition most commonly characterized by the presence of dermal neurofibromas and cafe au lait macules, has a significant impact upon quality of life (QoL). The study aimed to assess the impact of NF1 on QoL. Methods: A total of 129 patients with NF1 completed the study questionnaires in an Italian academic dermatological centre and a neurofibromatosis clinic at the University of Rome. Results: All domains of general-health-related QoL were affected. Patients with serious cosmetic problems reported a greater impact on the emotional domain. Conclusion: In our study, the impact of the cosmetic features on QoL had the greatest importance. This survey demonstrates the usefulness of QoL measurements in supplementing clinical assessments.
