Patient\u2010reported outcomes were measured using the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) and the Teenager's Quality of Life Index (TQoL). Acne severity was graded by physicians using the Global Evaluation Acne (GEA) scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 100 participants, mean CADI and TQoL scores were 3.77 and 8.89, respectively.

The most affected TQoL domain was self\u2010image. CADI and TQoL scores did not differ significantly by age, dermatological comorbidities, nodulocystic lesions, or scarring. Significantly worse scores (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) were associated with female sex, acne duration \u2265\u20092\u2009years, and truncal involvement.
