Today it is not clear what a single score of the QOLHEQ in its German\u2010language version means to a patient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was the aim of this study to band the QOLHEQ score to an anchor question (AQ) in order to obtain meaningful categories of the QOLHEQ to aid its interpretation. In addition, we assessed the minimal important change (MIC) by using anchor\u2010 and distribution\u2010based methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall n = 440 hand eczema patients were included in the study. Mean age was 47.5\u2009years (SD 11.9); 38.4% of the sample were female.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>With a weighted kappa of 0.62, the total QOLHEQ score showed the best agreement for the following band: QOLHEQ of &lt;17 = no impairment; QOLHEQ of 18\u201328 = slight impairment; QOLHEQ of 29\u201341 = moderate impairment; QOLHEQ of 42\u201379 = severe impairment; and QOLHEQ of &gt;79 = very severe impairment. The MIC for the total score was found to be 16.5 points.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This banding represents a standardized means of interpreting the QOLHEQ total score.
