338 Acne Core Outcomes Research Network (ACORN) reaches consensus on outcomes to measure

Recognizing the need for standardization of outcome measures used in clinical trials for acne, the Acne Core Outcomes Research Network (ACORN) was formed in 2012 with support from NIAMS. ACORN is aligned with the International Dermatology Outcome Measurers (IDEOM) and the Cochrane Skin Group (CSG-COUSINS). Our objective is to follow the roadmap outlined by the Harmonizing Outcome Measures in Eczema (HOME) to develop standardized outcome measures. ACORN has 90 members including clinicians, researchers, statisticians, patients, journal editors and industry trialists representing 6 continents.
