Assessing the influence of actinic keratosis on patients' quality of life: the AKQoL questionnaire.
Limited knowledge is available regarding quality of life in patients with actinic keratosis (AK). ⋯ A nine-item questionnaire for patients with AK was developed. The AKQoL has three domains covering emotions, function and control and one single global item. The questionnaire's scale structure, the content and face validity, and the reliability have been established.
