LOINC description : The Skindex-16 is a patient reported outcome instrument designed to asses how bothersome
the effects of skin disease are in three areas of patient quality of life, symptoms,
emotions and functioning. The Skindex-16 is general in nature and can be used for
patients regardless of specific skin disease. Using on a Likert scale of 0 (Never)
to 6 (Always), the patient rates how often of each skin disease effect has been over
the preceding week. Skindex-16 provides a single score for each area (symptoms, emotions
and functioning) as well as an average score. [PMID: 22284137];
