• Resumen

  • Importance A validated scoring system is essential to assess the effect of therapeutic interventions on a disease. The instrument introduced here captures sarcoidosis disease activity in a reliable, reproducible manner, which will help standardize clinical trial outcomes and allow comparative efficacy studies in the future and may help lead to more robust data regarding the effect of different treatments on cutaneous sarcoidosis.

    Objective To assess the reliability and convergent validity of the Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Activity and Morphology Instrument (CSAMI) and Sarcoidosis Activity and Severity Index (SASI) for evaluating cutaneous sarcoidosis outcomes.
