What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Body mass index

    (weight (kg)/height(m)2)

    Time frame: one year

  2. severity of acne vulgaris

    Global acne grading system (GAGS): The GAGS is an acne grading system developed by Doshi et al . (13) In this grading system, lesions of acne vulgaris are divided into six sites: the forehead, right cheek, left cheek, nose, chin, and chest back.Each site has one factor score: the chin and nose are graded by one factor, the forehead and each cheek are graded by two factors and the chest and back are graded by three factors. Lesions are scored as follows: one point for a comedone, two points for a papule, three points for a pustule, and four points for a nodule. The lesion score of each site is calculated by the factor score, and the final score for that site is obtained. The total score varies between 1 and 44 and is evaluated as follows: mild falls between 1 and 18, moderate falls between 19 and 30, severe falls between 31 and 38, and very severe is over 39.

    Time frame: One year
