As the number of aesthetic treatments has grown, so have the number of photonumeric assessment scales used to compare the effectiveness of these aesthetic treatments in specific anatomical areas; however, these are primarily based on Caucasian features.
To assess the validity of the first aesthetic scale for assessing the slope of the Asian forehead. A secondary objective was to correlate this scale with subject demographics and baseline characteristics.
During 2 validation sessions, 13 raters assessed full frontal and lateral facial images of female (n = 28; 56.0%) and male (n = 22; 44%) subjects. For each subject, the severity of forehead sloping was graded from 0 (convex forehead, optimal forehead volume) to 4 (concave forehead, very severe sloping). Raters also assessed the age of each subject and the estimated aesthetic treatment effort required to treat each subject.
Inter-rater reliability was "substantial" with scores of 0.67 and 0.68 for the first and second validation sessions, indicating high reliability. BMI showed the highest correlation with the scale and was a significant predictor in the final regression model.
This photonumeric assessment scale will be useful for assessing the slope of the Asian forehead in both clinical and research settings.
随着美容治疗数量的增加，用于比较这些美容治疗在特定解剖区域效果的光子数字评估量表的数量也在增加；然而，这些量表主要基于白种人特征。
评估首个用于评估亚洲人额部倾斜度的美学量表的有效性。次要目的是将该量表与受试者的人口统计学和基线特征相关联。
在 2 次验证会议期间，13 名评估者评估了女性（n=28；56.0%）和男性（n=22；44%）受试者的全正面和侧面面部图像。对于每个受试者，额部倾斜度的严重程度从 0（凸额，最佳额部容积）到 4（凹额，严重倾斜）进行分级。评估者还评估了每个受试者的年龄以及每位受试者所需的估计美学治疗努力。
评分分别为 0.67 和 0.68，表明组内可靠性“高”，在第一次和第二次验证会议中具有高度可靠性。BMI 与量表的相关性最高，并且是最终回归模型中的显著预测因子。
该光子数字评估量表将在临床和研究环境中用于评估亚洲人额部的倾斜度。
