The incidence and clinical manifestations of scars and keloids are different in different races, and Asians are more likely to suffer from this disease than Caucasians. China and Japan are the representative countries for medical development in Asia. There is no comprehensive study on the similarities and differences between the academic circles in the two countries in the diagnosis and treatment of scars and keloids. By comparing and analyzing the latest expert consensus in the field of scars and keloids between the two countries, we found that the organization form of expert team and main contents of the consensus from the two countries are basically similar. However, there are obvious differences in the composition of experts, logical thinking and organizational form of consensus contents, and details of the specific schemes for scar assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. The differences in the diagnosis and treatment of scars and keloids in China and Japan may indicate the direction of future cooperative research. It is necessary for the academic circles of China and Japan to strengthen academic exchanges and work hard to cooperate in high-quality research in the field of scars and keloids.
瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩的发病率及临床表现因种族不同而存在差异,亚洲人比白种人更易患此病。中国和日本是亚洲医学发展的代表国家。两国学术界在瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩的诊断与治疗方面的异同尚无全面研究。通过比较分析两国瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩领域的最新专家共识,我们发现两国专家团队的组织形式及共识的主要内容基本相似。然而,在专家构成、共识内容的逻辑思维和组织形式以及瘢痕评估、诊断和治疗具体方案的细节方面存在明显差异。中国和日本在瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩诊断与治疗上的差异可能预示着未来合作研究的方向。中日学术界有必要加强学术交流,努力在瘢痕和瘢痕疙瘩领域开展高质量合作研究。
