Partners:Complutense University of Madrid
Hospital 12 de Octubre of Madrid
University of Granada
University of Barcelona
Hospital Clínic of Barcelona
Laboratorio Reig Jofre SA
Objective:Obtaining and cross-cultural validation of the first scale in Spanish capable of measuring the evolution of the quality of life in the female alopecia treatment.
Project presentation at the conference of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (available only in Spanish):

  • Background: Female androgenetic alopecia (FAA) has considerable impact on quality of life. The scale Hair Specific Skindex 29 (HSS29) is the most appropriate for adaptation to Spanish as a tool for following patients in treatment for FAA. This tool assesses disease impact on quality of life over time so that treatments can be tailored to patients’ needs.
  • Conclusions: The psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the HSS29 are similar to those of the original scale and is a useful tool for assessing quality of life in female alopecia.
