Abstract

This global, mixed-methods consensus study established internationally agreed-upon severity criteria for vitiligo. This consensus aims to bridge the gap between physician assessment and patient experience; improve the relevance and consistency of the severity classification in clinical care, research, and regulatory frameworks; and help close the remaining gaps in the diagnosis and classification of vitiligo.
