By A J Jackson


Summary of research:

One - hundred patients completed a questionnaire designed to assess the disability resulting from Acne; patient severity was also graded clinically. Ten questions which correlated strongly with clinical severity were used to form an Disability Index ( ADI ). This ADI correlated with the severity of facial ( r = 0. 246, P less than 0. 01 ), chest ( r = 0. 347, P less than 0. 001 ) and back ( r = 0. 436, P less than 0. 001 ). Measures were made of the financial value to patients of treatment: when hypothetically offered either

All 13 patients who stated a preference for the 500 pounds had minimal Acne.
