Impact of Neurofibromatosis on Quality of Life Evaluated
Briefly

The study highlighted that mobile images are reliable for assessing cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF) features in patients with NF1, showing substantial agreement with expert evaluations.
Researchers found that facial severity of cNFs significantly impacts quality of life, with worse scores reported in females and those with a higher burden of cNFs.
Substantial agreement (74%-88%) was noted between mobile and whole-body imaging for the assessment of cNF characteristics, highlighting the value of mobile assessment tools.
The correlation between the number of cNFs and worse emotional well-being was evident, as participants with more severe facial cNFs reported higher scores in quality of life metrics.
