Patient selection: pemphigus
Subscores for disease activity:
(1) subscore for skin activity
(2) subscore for scalp activity
(3) subscore for mucous membrane activity
Subscores for damage:
(1) subscore for skin damage
(2) subscore for scalp damage
score for disease activity =
= SUM(3 subscores)
score for disease damage =
= SUM(2 subscores)
Interpretation:
• minimum activity score: 0
• maximum activity score: 250
• minumum damage score: 0
• maximum damage score: 13
• The higher the activity score the greater the pemphigus activity.
• The higher the damage score the greater the pemphigus damage.
