As the number of different aesthetic treatments increase, numerous photonumeric assessment scales have been developed and validated to measure the effectiveness of these new treatments and techniques. Photonumeric rating scales have been developed to objectively assess improvements in anatomical areas; however, these have been based on the features of Caucasian patients.
To develop and validate a Chin Projection Scale for use in the female Asian patient population.
During 2 validation sessions, 13 raters assessed full frontal and lateral facial views of 50 Asian subjects and also estimated their age and the aesthetic treatment effort required for each subject. Chin projection was rated on a scale from 0 (optimal) to 4 (very severely receding).
Inter-rater reliability was 0.80 (substantial) for Validation Session 1 and 0.83 (almost perfect) for Validation Session 2. The results for Estimated Age and Estimated Treatment Effort were essentially the same.
This study demonstrated the validity of the first photonumeric assessment scale for assessing the appearance of the female Asian chin. This new scale will provide a standardized measure of chin projection for Asian patients in clinical practice and clinical research settings.
随着不同美容治疗方法的数量不断增加，已经开发并验证了许多光子数字评估量表，以衡量这些新治疗方法和技术的有效性。光子数字评分量表已被开发出来，以客观评估解剖区域的改善情况；然而，这些量表是基于白种人患者的特征制定的。
为亚洲女性患者群体开发和验证一种颏部突出度量表。
在 2 次验证会议中，13 名评估员评估了 50 名亚洲受试者的正面和侧面全脸照片，并估计了每位受试者的年龄和所需的美学治疗难度。颏部突出度评分范围为 0（最佳）至 4（严重后缩）。
第一次验证会议的组内相关性为 0.80（高度相关），第二次验证会议为 0.83（几乎完美相关）。对估计年龄和估计治疗难度的评估结果基本相同。
本研究证明了第一个用于评估亚洲女性颏部外观的光子数字评估量表的有效性。这个新量表将为亚洲患者的临床实践和临床研究提供一种颏部突出度的标准化测量方法。
