Recent studies continue to examine teledermatology for a wide variety of disorders (Table 1); teledermoscopy has been mostly studied for assessing melanocytic and keratinocytic lesions [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].
Accuracy and Interobserver ConcordanceMost studies show comparable diagnostic accuracy between teledermatology and face-to-face (FTF) care [55,64,66,71,72], although 3 earlier studies reviewed by Lee and English [71] found teledermatology either significantly superior [9] or inferior [73,74]. More specifically, Finnane et al [75] reviewed accuracy of diagnosis for skin cancer; most studies showed that FTF consultations were more accurate than teledermatology (67%-85% vs 51%-85%); however, some studies found teledermatology was more accurate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
