Background: Acne-induced scarring is associated with a similar burden as acne, i.e. diminished quality of life, and may be avoided if patients receive appropriate timely acne treatment. In 2017, four item-Acne-Scar Risk Assessment Tool (4-ASRAT) was designed by Tan et al. to categorise into lower-risk or higher-risk for scarring. Its applicability outside the initial study population (France, Brazil United States) remains determined. Methods: A protocol developed create systematic approach...

Background Acne is a common disease that associated with scarring and substantial psychosocial burden. The Global Burden of Skin Disease reported the burden from acne as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) 188 countries specifically it greatest in Western Europe, high-income North America Southern Latin America. This paper aimed to identify risk factors for specific Ecuadorian population order adapt 4-ASRAT tool accordingly. Methods was an observational prospective study....

Early estimation of the risk having acne-induced scars is crucial for acne sufferers to ensure appropriate treatment and prevention. This paper explores feasibility using Convolutional neural networks (CNN) estimate developing based only on image analysis as a complementary tool diagnosis. A database whose scar risks have been evaluated by specialized dermatologists applying four-item-Acne-Scar Risk Assessment Tool (4-ASRAT) was used. The training dataset includes images patients with low,...

The Global Burden of Skin Disease reported in 188 countries the burden from acne as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), lived with disability and lost greatest Western Europe, high-income North America Southern Latin America. This paper aims to identify risk factors for scarring specific Ecuadorian population order adapt 4-ASRAT tool accordingly. Methods was an observational prospective study....
