通过测量皮肤病的受累面积来评估皮肤病的严重性在临床实践和研究中都很重要。使用示意图轮廓，我们已经表明，医生、护士和其他群体无法准确地评估面积，并且误差程度部分取决于绝对面积，但也取决于其他因素。错误的模式和大小在接受检查的组之间有所不同，但总体上是如此，以至于在评估炎症性皮肤病时使用面积指数，如PASI(牛皮癣面积和严重程度指数)是值得怀疑的。
The ability to assess the severity of dermatoses by measurement of area of involvement is important in both clinical practice and research. Using schematic figure outlines we have shown that physicians, nurses and other groups are unable to assess area accurately, and that the degree of error is partially dependent on absolute area, but also on other factors. The pattern and magnitude of the errors varied between the groups examined, but overall was such that it calls in question the use of area indices such as the PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) score in the assessment of inflammatory dermatoses.
