“…The same applies to the selfdiagnosed severity. Contrary to previous studies that show no difference in DLQI between males and females, [3][4][5] our study showed that DLQI was significantly higher in males. This is in contrast to atopic dermatitis which seems to have a higher DLQI in females.…”

“…Three studies regarding the impact of HE on patient's quality of life found that the average DLQI score of HE patients indicated moderate impact to patient's quality of life. [24][25][26] This was consistent with the results obtained in this study and also previous studies, which showed a significant negative impact on the quality of life of HE patients.…”

Background. Hand eczema (HE) commonly occurs in healthcare services, especially during COVID-19 pandemic era. Vitamin D shows various effects on skin inflammation. This study aims to analyze the correlation between HE severity and vitamin D levels as measured by serum 25(OH)D in healthcare workers. Method. This is an analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional design conducted in Indonesia between September-October 2022. HE severity was assessed using Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI). Results. Among 44 healthcare workers with HE, 29 people had mild HE, 11 had moderate HE, and 4 had severe HE. The mean serum 25(OH)D level in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe HE was 17.85 ng/mL, 16.45 ng/mL, and 17.87 ng/mL, respectively, which belonged to vitamin D deficiency category. There was no statistically significant correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and HE severity (r = -0.056; p = 0.359). Conclusions. There was no significant difference in serum 25(OH)D levels between subjects with mild, moderate, and severe HE. Serum 25(OH)D level was not inversely correlated with HE severity.
