A total of 247 patients aged > 18 years completed the questionnaire on 2 occasions as well as the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). The CECA questionnaire showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha values of 0.86 and 0.91 in the emotional and sexual activity dimensions) and good testretest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.76 emotional dimension, 0.82 sexual activity dimension). Patients with de novo lesions and those with more extensive lesions and larger number of warts showed poorer health-related quality of life. CECA and DLQI scores correlated moderately. Patients whose lesions cleared at follow-up or with a reduction of >or= 50% showed a better improvement of health-related quality of life. The CECA questionnaire is a valid, reliable and sensitive tool for the assessment of health-related quality of life in patients with anogenital warts.enEnfermedades del anoCondiloma acuminadoEnfermedades de los genitales femeninosEnfermedades de los genitales masculinosCalidad de VidaCuestionariosInfecciones por PapillomavirusVerrugasPsicologíafemalegenital diseasesgenital diseasesmalequality of lifequestionnairespapillomavirus infectionswartspsychologyMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Digestive System Diseases::Gastrointestinal Diseases::Intestinal Diseases::Rectal Diseases::Anus DiseasesMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases::Skin Diseases::Skin Diseases, Infectious::Skin Diseases, Viral::Warts::Condylomata AcuminataMedical Subject Headings::Check TagsMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Genital Diseases, FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Male Urogenital Diseases::Genital Diseases, MaleMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavioral Disciplines and Activities::Psychological Tests::PsychometricsMedical Subject Headings::Humanities::Humanities::Philosophy::Life::Quality of LifeMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Epidemiologic Methods::Data Collection::QuestionnairesMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Research Design::Reproducibility of ResultsMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Behavior::Sexual BehaviorMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Adult ChildrenMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Genital Diseases, FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Virus Diseases::Tumor Virus Infections::Papillomavirus InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases::Skin Diseases::Skin Diseases, Infectious::Skin Diseases, Viral::WartsMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Behavior and Behavior Mechanisms::Psychology, Socialresearch article18480925open access10.2340/00015555-04220001-5555
