A Quality Analysis of the Measurement Properties of the Clinician-Reported Outcome Measures for Vitiligo and of the Studies Assessing Them: A Systematic Review.

Evaluating the measurement properties (MPs) of Clinician-Reported Outcome Measures (ClinROMs) is crucial for selecting appropriate instruments for vitiligo assessment. This review critically appraises the existing evidence on the MPs of the ClinROMs used in vitiligo. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to 20 February 2024, identifying validated ClinROMs in vitiligo.

Clinician-reported outcome measures for the assessment of vitiligo: A scoping review.

Clinician-reported outcome measures (ClinROMs) are essential for assessment of vitiligo in clinical trials and daily practice. Several instruments have been developed and tested to measure, for example, vitiligo extent, repigmentation and activity. The goal of this review was to identify all introductory publications of ClinROMs for vitiligo that include at least some aspects of validation and to describe the instruments' characteristics, intention for use and practical strengths and limitations.
