Quality of Life, Sleep and Anxiety status among Patients with Rosacea in the Yunnan plateau region: A 2-year retrospective study via Pubmed

To investigate the life, sleep quality and anxiety of rosacea patients in Yunnan and the improvement of these aspects after treatment.

A total of 141 patients with rosacea and 123 healthy controls were included in our study.

Compared with healthy controls, patients with rosacea had significantly lower physical component scores (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS) but higher PSQI and SAS scores. After treatment, rosacea patients showed significantly higher MCS but lower PSQI and SAS scores. Correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between PCS, MCS, PSQI, SAS and RSSs.

Patients with rosacea have a lower quality of life and sleep quality and tend to be more anxious than healthy controls. In addition, the mental quality of life, sleep quality and anxiety of rosacea patients can be significantly improved after treatment. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the psychological status of rosacea patients. Psychological counseling and intervention are necessary to better prevent and treat rosacea.
