Abstract
Background: To assess the severity and duration of herpes zoster (HZ)-associated pain (ZAP) and its impact on quality of life (QoL) and healthcare utilization (HCRU) from a patient perspective in routine care in TWN. Methods: A prospective, observational, single-cohort study was conducted in five centers across TWN. Patients were recruited at different time points during their HZ episode and were followed for ?180?days. ZAP was assessed with the Initial Zoster Impact Questionnaire and the Zoster Brief Pain Inventory, QoL with the EQ-5D, and HCRU with a simple questionnaire. Results: A total of 150 patients were included with a mean age of 64.9?years and mean time since rash onset of 18.8?days. Prodromal pain was experienced by 64.7% of patients, of whom 91.8% reported moderate-to-severe pain. At enrollment, 98.0% of patients experienced ZAP. Mean?±?SD worst pain score decreased from 5.95?±?3.09 at enrollment to 2.65?±?2.98 at 30?days and 0.28?±?0.83 at 180?days. Postherpetic neuralgia was observed in 20.7% of patients. Mean?±?SD EQ-5D score significantly decreased (P?
