Abstract:
Fifty patients with warts were treated with cryotherapy and given a 100-item questionnaire, The Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, to complete. Responses from 42 patients on whom follow-up data were available were subjected to computer analysis. The answers to eight of the questions differed significantly between treatment cures (23) and treatment failures (19). Further analysis of two of the eight questions showed that it may be possible to use them to predict cryosurgical treatment success or failure in up to 100% of cases.
