“…However, a composite mental health component score (MCS) of 69.93 ± 15.53 reported by Varghaei et al 28 indicates a better overall mental life quality as compared to these chronic diseases. 40,[42][43][44] Huang et al 13 reported in their systematic review of QoL in AGA that physician-assessed severity was not a factor that influenced QoL, which correlated with the results of most of the studies included in this review. However, the extent of scalp involvement appears to negatively influence life quality in AA.…”

Cicatricial alopecia may lead to an enormous emotional burden, social distress, and psychological impairment affecting the quality of life. The objective of this review is to systematically describe the health‐related quality of life in adults with primary cicatricial alopecia and its subtypes. Studies that (i) reported quality of life in patients with primary cicatricial alopecia or its subtypes; (ii) were original research and not a conference abstract or review (iii) with patients >18 years of age were included in the review. The studies not mentioning quality of life specifically for the cicatricial alopecia cohort were excluded. We searched for literature via OVID in Medline and Embase, in Web of Science, CINAHL, EBSCO (APA PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, and PSYNDEX Literature), in the Cochrane Library and for grey literature from its inception date till 12 November 2022. The risk of bias was assessed by using the AXIS tool for cross‐sectional studies by two independent authors. Thirteen observational cross‐sectional and one single‐arm study, including 572 patients and eight different instruments, fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Results are descriptively synthesized, and associated factors of quality of life are presented. The data from studies that used the Dermatology Life Quality Index tool (DLQI) showed that more than 70% of the patients have an impaired life quality. While trichodynia and anxiety have a negative effect on the quality of life, disease duration, education, employment, and marital status have no effect. The findings were inconsistent for other factors. Most of these studies failed to justify the sample size. Furthermore, the risk of bias assessment could not surely rule out a non‐response bias. Our results suggest that cicatricial alopecia treatments must be integrated with psychosocial intervention and indicate the need for further research with homogenous and more comprehensive tools to identify and address this patient population's unmet mental health needs.

Background. The World Health Organization (WHO) has considered type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) a major global health challenge because of its high prevalence worldwide. T2DM can affect patients’ personal, social, and economic statuses. On the other hand, due to the increasing prevalence of T2DM, Quality of Life (QOL) has received more attention in recent years. Objective. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationships between QOL and physical activity level, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HbA1c, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among Iranian patients with uncomplicated T2DM. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 135 participants selected through consecutive sampling. The study data were collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire. Then, the data were entered into the SPSS ver. 28 software, and Pearson’s correlation was used to measure the correlation between the variables. Linear regression was also employed. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results. The significant association was observed between gender ( p = 0.007 ), HDL level ( p = 0.02 ), and gender-adjusted physical activity ( p = 0.002 ) with QOL. Conclusions. Due to the association between physical activity and HDL level with QOL in patients with uncomplicated T2DM, they should be given the necessary training to improve their physical activity and regulate HDL level. Also, empowering them in this matter improves their QOL.

This issue of the Scottish Medical Journal has a few systematic reviews and critical analysis of literature in many areas. We feel that for clinical practice, evidence is essential and systematic reviews summarize evidence for us through a scientific synthesis. The range of topics of systematic reviews. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] in this issue has been wide and not focusing on a particular problem, however, publications should generate awareness, some glimpse into methodology and associated discussions around evidence-based medicine.Evidence-based medicine is a combination of individual clinical knowledge and the results of clinical trials. And as a doctor, there is a great need for some strong evidence to support his diagnosis and treatment and all aspects of it. 9 Due to the proliferation of medical literature and the limited time available to clinicians and researchers, systematic evaluation was born. The systematic evaluation aims to obtain stronger clinical evidence for clinical decisionmaking by systematically searching medical databases. So high-quality systematic reviews are needed. 9 The quality of a systematic review depends on the number and quality of the studies included and the presence of heterogeneity. Choosing a good topic is the beginning of preparing a systematic review. Once you have chosen a topic, you can start with the Protocol. At this stage, most journals recommend that we use The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to assist in the writing of our articles. 10 PROSPERO (http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/) is a well-known platform for registration of system overviews, so it is best to make a registration on such a platform. 11 And check if anyone has done any relevant research to avoid duplication. 12 In particular, for clinical questions, authors should use the "Participants, Interventions, Comparisons and Outcomes (PICO)" to analyze the question before starting the process of conducting a systematic review. 13 The search strategy is mainly to link some keywords by means of 'and' and 'or' to achieve a search of the relevant literature. Then it is a matter of selecting the appropriate database for the search, e.g. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CENTRAL, Cinahl, and LiLacs., etc. Searches can be conducted within them using keywords and appropriate filters such as time
