Psychological Outcomes Among Patients With Alopecia Areata
To the Editor The systematic review and meta-analysis by Lauron et al illuminates the psychological outcomes among patients with alopecia areata (AA) on patients. The study found that 7% to 17% of patients with AA had depressive or anxiety disorders, with more than one-third of patients having symptoms, which is higher than the general population. This aligns with previous research that has noted a positive association with anxiety and depression in patients with AA and other dermatological diseases. We advocate for dermatologists to screen patients with AA for anxiety and depression using tools, such as the Patient Health...

Exploring Discordance Between Patients and Clinicians —Understanding Perceived Disease Severity
While patient and clinician assessment of skin disease severity are often aligned, it has been well documented that discordant assessments are also common. For instance, in a cross-sectional evaluation of patients with psoriatic disease that was treated in routine clinical practice in the US, 42% had a 1-level difference in severity scores (eg, mild vs moderate) and 9% had a 2-level difference in severity scores (eg, mild vs severe) between the Dermatology Life Quality Index (patient-reported outcome) and the Psoriasis Area Severity Index. In another cross-sectional study of patients with atopic dermatitis in the US, in ap...
