ABSTRACT
Although progress has been made in developing outcome measures for AA, the use of these measures remains unstandardized. A scoping review was conducted to identify the clinician-reported outcome measures (ClinROMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in assessing and treating AA, the results of which revealed heterogeneity in AA outcome measures. Of 23 research studies ultimately included, only 2 ClinROMs were used by >15% of studies; likewise, of 110 clinical trials evaluated, numerous outcome instruments were used, but only one ClinROM was used by >5% of trials (Severity of Alopecia Tool). These results suggest the need for consensus and standardization in both research and trial settings.
