Reliable and validated measures of skin disease severity are needed for cutaneous dermatomyositis (DM). CDASI (Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index), DSSI (Dermatomyositis Skin Severity Index), and CAT (Cutaneous Assessment Tool) skin indices have been developed as outcome instruments. We sought to demonstrate reliability and validity of these tools for use in measuring disease severity. CDASI has 4 activity and 2 damage measures, with scores from 0 to 148. DSSI assesses activity based on body surface area and severity on a scale of 0 to 72. CAT uses 21 activity and damage items, for a range of 0 to 175 for activity and 0 to 33 for damage. Ten dermatologists used the instruments to score the same 12 to 16 patients in one session. Global validation measures were administered to physicians and patients. Global validation measures correlated with the 3 outcome instruments (p<0.0001). CAT displayed lower inter- and intra-rater reliability relative to the CDASI. All scales correlate better with physician than patient global skin measures. It appears that the CDASI may be a useful outcome measure for studies of cutaneous DM. Further testing to compare responsiveness of all three measures is necessary.
