The objective evaluation of the severity of psoriatic scales with desquamation collecting tapes and image analysis

Abstract

The results of this study showed that the severity of psoriatic scales could be measured objectively using the Corneofix(®).

Histopathological Findings Are Associated with the Clinical Types of Psoriasis but Not with the Corresponding Lesional Psoriasis Severity Index

“…To improve the statistical power, both PSI scores and histopathological grading should be upgraded to more precise, detailed, and continuous numerical parameters. Some studies have used objective bioengineering measurements to overcome the subjectivity of the PSI score 6 , 7 . Measurements of color, elasticity, and scale could be good substitutes for the PSI score without inter- or intra-rater variability.…”

“…In this study, we investigated the correlation between quantitative histopathological grading systems and the clinical types of psoriasis, to determine whether histopathological grading could be used as a new tool for evaluating psoriasis severity. In addition, we intended to correlate the histopathological findings with the psoriasis severity index (PSI) score 6 , 7 , to elucidate whether the conventional clinical severity scoring tools could express histopathological severity so that evidence-based psoriasis severity assessment tools can be developed.…”

Development and clinical validation of a novel photography‐based skin erythema evaluation system: a comparison with the calculated consensus of dermatologists

“…In future research, the erythema intensity determined using the proposed system will be confirmed by comparison with indices, such as the erythema index (EI), melanin index (MI) and TiVi value, determined using other devices . In addition, to validate the proposed system's applicability, further studies involving lighter or darker skin types are warranted.…”

One device, one equation: The simplest way to objectively evaluate psoriasis severity

“…Nevertheless, their work did not primarily focus on severity itself. Kim et al 11 used desquamation collecting tapes along with image analysis as a method of objectively measuring the degree of psoriatic scaling. Xhauflaire-Uhoda et al 12 and Pierard-Franchimont et al 13 tried to represent the severity of psoriasis in terms of capacitance.…”
