Factors Associated With Quality of Life in Patients With Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study investigated factors affecting the quality of life (QoL) in 97 patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA). The findings revealed that younger age and longer disease duration were associated with worse QoL. Frequent wig use also correlated with poorer QoL, while higher education levels were linked to better QoL. The study highlights the importance of considering sociodemographic and clinical factors in patient counseling and treatment planning to improve well-being, particularly for younger patients, those with longer disease duration, less education, and frequent wig use. Limitations include potential misclassification and self-selection bias due to social media recruitment.
