Abstract

AbstractIntroductionVitiligo is a chronic skin condition with no cure. Clinical assessment and treatment evaluation relays heavily on clinometry tools and expert knowledge. The Vitiligo Extent Score has been proposed as one of the most reliable and easy-to-use clinometry tools for vitiligo.Methods and analysisWe proposed a scoping review to identify all the available evidence on the clinical research availability around the Vitiligo Extent Score. This review will follow the approach proposed in the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews.Ethics and disseminationWe intend to publish the results in a specialized peer-reviewed journal and local, national, and international conference presentations. It will also be incorporated as educational material in our institution’s postgraduate program in dermatology.Article summaryStrengths and limitations of this studyThis scoping review will be the first to review the available literature on VES extensively.The search strategy includes an extensive search of grey literature besides the primary medical databases and no language restriction, ensuring the inclusion of all the available literature.The research questions will allow us to assess the main aspects of a measurement instrument.This scoping review will only evaluate one of the several available measurement instruments for vitiligo.
