International validation of the Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) severity score and calculation of cut-off values for defining mild, moderate and severe type of bullous pemphigoid.

CONCLUSION: This study suggests cut-off values of 20-57 for BPDAI to distinguish mild, moderate and severe BP, and confirms that it is a robust tool to precisely assess BP severity.
