Reliability of Clinician Erythema Assessment grading scale
TLDR
The CEA had high interrater reliability and good intrarater reliability with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and was a reliable scale for measuring the facial erythema of rosacea when used by trained raters.Abstract:
Background Facial erythema is a clinical hallmark of rosacea and often causes social and psychological distress Although facial erythema assessments are a common endpoint in rosacea clinical trials, their reliability has not been evaluated Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intrarater reliability of the Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA), a 5-point grading scale of facial erythema severity Methods Twelve board-certified dermatologists, previously trained on use of the scale, rated erythema of 28 rosacea subjects twice on the same day Interrater and intrarater agreement was assessed with the intraclass correlation and κ statistic Results The CEA had high interrater reliability and good intrarater reliability with an overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for session 1 and session 2 of 0601 and 0576, respectively; the overall weighted κ statistic for session 1 and session 2 was 0692 Limitations Raters were experienced dermatologists and there may be a risk of recall bias Conclusion When used by trained raters, CEA is a reliable scale for measuring the facial erythema of rosacearead more

TL;DR: In 2002, the National Rosacea Society assembled an expert committee to develop the first standard classification of rosacea, which was intended to provide clearer parameters to conduct investigations, guide diagnosis, and improve treatment.

Interventions for rosacea.
TL;DR: Two topical treatments, metronidazole and azelaic acid, were shown to be more effective than placebo in papulopustular rosacea (moderate quality evidence for metRONidazoles and high for azelaoic acid) and pooled data from physician assessments in three trials demonstrated that metronIDazole was more effective compared to placebo.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated mask-related rosacea and acne (maskne) in untreated patients during lockdown at least 6 h/day. And they found that after 6 weeks of mask and quarantine, patients with acne displayed an increased Global Acne Grading Scale (GAGS) score in maskrelated areas (P < 0001).

TL;DR: These guidelines were developed by an expert panel of Canadian dermatologists taking into consideration the balance of desirable and undesirable outcomes, the quality of supporting evidence, the values and preferences of patients, and the costs of treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability of the EASI scoring system was evaluated by assessing inter-and intra-observer consistency, and the results indicated that the evaluators assessed the patients consistently across both study days.
