Alopecia areata (AA) is managed with prolonged medical treatments and cosmetic therapies, whose cost can be burdensome. We sought to identify the costs of AA treatment and consolidate the available data for the practicing dermatologist by performing a PubMed search of articles indexed for MEDLINE. Ten studies including approximately 16,000 patients with AA across a range of Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence were included. Studies showed that despite the limited efficacy of many AA therapies, patients incurred substantial expenses to manage their AA.
斑秃（AA）的治疗需要长期的药物治疗和美容疗法，费用可能会造成负担。我们通过在 MEDLINE 索引的 PubMed 中搜索文章，以确定 AA 治疗的成本，并为皮肤科医生整合现有数据。共纳入了 10 项研究，涵盖了各种牛津循证医学证据水平的近 16000 例 AA 患者。研究表明，尽管许多 AA 疗法的疗效有限，但患者为治疗 AA 仍要承担大量费用。
