Validity and reliability of the Rosacea Area and Severity Index (RASI): A scoring system for clinical assessment of rosacea severity

[RSS News Bot]

CONCLUSIONS: We have designed a new practical tool to examine clinical severity of rosacea. RASI proved simple and reliable in scoring clinical severity of rosacea with an agreement comparable to the currently used IGA although RASI will provide a more nuanced view of the current rosacea extent and severity. We suggest that RASI is used in the daily clinical setting as well as in clinical studies assessing the efficacy of rosacea therapies.
