Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition with no cure. Clinical assessment and treatment evaluation relies heavily on clinometry tools and expert knowledge. The Vitiligo Extent Score has been proposed as one of the most reliable and easy-to-use clinometry tools for vitiligo.
We proposed a scoping review to identify all the available evidence on the clinical research availability around the Vitiligo Extent Score. The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Open Grey, Lens and Directory of Open Access Journals. In addition, the approach proposed in the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual will be followed. Finally, this review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews.
Ethics approval for this review is not required. We intend to publish the results in a specialised peer-reviewed journal and local, national and international conference presentations. It will also be incorporated as educational material in our institution's postgraduate programme in dermatology.
白癜风是一种慢性皮肤病,目前尚无治愈方法。临床评估和治疗效果评估主要依赖于临床计量学工具和专业知识。白癜风面积评分已被提议作为一种最可靠和易于使用的白癜风临床计量学工具之一。
我们提出了一项范围综述,以确定有关白癜风面积评分的临床研究可获得性的所有现有证据。将搜索以下数据库:MEDLINE(PubMed)、Embase、Open Grey、Lens 和开放获取期刊目录。此外,还将遵循 Joanna Briggs 研究所评论员手册中提出的方法。最后,本综述将根据系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目进行报告。
本综述不需要伦理批准。我们计划在专业同行评审期刊以及地方、国家和国际会议上发表研究结果。它还将作为我们机构皮肤科研究生课程的教育材料纳入。
