This study aims to create a patient-centered acne severity scale. This new tool will help individuals assess their acne and treatment satisfaction, improving overall management.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychosocial Health
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Acne vulgaris is a prevalent skin condition with significant psychosocial impacts.
  • Current acne severity scales are clinician-centered, lacking patient perspectives.
  • Varied acne presentation and treatment responses complicate patient self-assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a patient-centered acne severity scale.
  • To provide patients with a tool for self-assessment of acne severity.
  • To enable objective measurement of patient satisfaction with acne treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of a novel patient-centered acne severity scale.
  • Utilizing a visual analogue scale (VAS) format for patient assessment.
