A few studies have addressed this issue so far, mainly measuring patients' quality of life or sexual dysfunction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To assess the burden of suffering in patients with chronic inflammatory vulvar diseases using the Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self\u2010Measure (PRISM), a visual, non\u2010verbal instrument. We also assessed (i) the concordance between PRISM and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), (ii) whether some variables, both patient\u2010related and disease\u2010related, affect the patient's suffering and quality\u2010of\u2010life impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We evaluated for inclusion in this cross\u2010sectional study all patients who attended our Vulva Unit over a 9\u2010month period with histologically proven lichen sclerosus (LS), lichen planus (LP), lichen simplex chronicus (LSC), eczema, plasma cell vulvitis and psoriasis (at least five for each disease). Demographics and disease\u2010related subjective and objective scores were recorded. The PRISM and DLQI were administered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 87 patients affected with LS, 13 with LSC and seven with LP. Median PRISM values (0\u2013273\u00a0mm) ranged from 95 to 120\u00a0mm, depending on the disease, and median DLQI scores (0\u201330) were five for all three groups. Neither PRISM nor DLQI scores differed significantly among the three groups. Moderate coherence was found between PRISM and DLQI (\u03c1\u00a0=\u00a00.5455, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).
