Abstract:
Health related quality of life (HRQOL) indicators take into account the personal perception of health, and are proposed as an alternative for efficacy indicators in medical and therapeutic decision-making. They provide, after elaboration and validation of a questionnaire, a standardized assessment of the health status perception. The authors had for aim to review of a variety of HRQOL instruments developed for patients presenting with genital herpes infection. Generic instruments are designed to be applicable in general population and disease-targeted instrument are potentially more sensitive to the characteristics of a specific population. Among HRQOL instruments, we found 4 specific disease-targeted questionnaires developed for patients presenting with genital herpes infection: Genital herpes questionnaire, Herpes research center questionnaire, quality of life with herpes (QLH) scale, and recurrent genital herpes quality of life (RGHQoL).
