背景技术与其他面部皱纹一样，胶原纤维和弹性蛋白、为皮肤提供底层支撑的结缔组织的逐渐损失和解体，目的：开发前额线条分级量表，用于客观量化静止和表情时的水平前额皱纹，并建立该光数量表用于临床研究和实践的可靠性。方法前额线条分级量表是一种5分光数评定量表，用于客观量化静息（静态）和运动过度（动态）前额线条。通过计算组内相关系数评估组间和组内变异性。气泡图（双变量散点图）证明线性判断由experts.CONCLUSION产生的5点photonumeric规模跨越严重的前额线，患者通常寻求纠正。该量表分层良好，评级一致。
BACKGROUND As with other facial wrinkles, the gradual loss and disorganization of collagen fibers and elastin, connective tissues that provide underlying support for skin, cause horizontal forehead rhytides in large part.OBJECTIVES To develop the Forehead Lines Grading Scale for objective quantification of horizontal forehead rhytides at rest and with expression and to establish the reliability of this photonumeric scale for clinical research and practice.MATERIALS AND METHODS The Forehead Lines Grading Scale is a 5-point photonumeric rating scale that was developed to objectively quantify resting (static) and hyperkinetic (dynamic) forehead lines. Inter- and intrarater variability was assessed by computing intraclass correlation coefficients.RESULTS The agreement between the experts was highly significant. Bubble plots (bivariate scatter plots) demonstrated linearity in judgment by the experts.CONCLUSION The 5-point photonumeric scale generated spans the severity of forehead lines for which patients commonly seek correction. The scale is well stratified for consistent rating.
