Change in Skindex-16 Total Score Between Baseline and 8 Weeks

The Skindex-16 questionnaire contains 16 questions related to quality of life in patients with skin disease. Total scores may range from 0 to 96, where 0 is associated with a better quality of life and 96 is associated with a worse quality of life. The data provided below indicates the change in the Skindex-16 total score between baseline and at 8 weeks.

Time frame: baseline and 8 weeks

Population: Results for subjects from the fluocinonide 0.05% cream arm, subjects from the Tazarotene 0.1% cream arm, and one subject from the Urea 40% cream arm are not included in analysis because these subjects did not complete a Skindex-16 questionnaire at 8 weeks. No subjects were randomized to the Udderly Smooth Emollient arm.
