Résumé
Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) is widely used to assess the severity of alopecia areata (AA). However, physician-related subjectivity exists in SALT scoring (S1-5), especially with initial inspection in the clinical practice. This study investigated two-dimensional planimetric method to calculate actual surface area of AA, validating SALT scoring. SALT score was measured twice in each patient based on "initial" inspection in the clinic (SALT-I) and retrospective assessment of the "photograph" (SALT-P). Planimetric surface area was calculated by Image J program. Subgroup analysis was performed depending on the agreement between SALT-I and -P; score was described in the order of SALT-I and SALT-P. A total of 93 subjects were enrolled. Planimetric surface area (cm SALT-P was more clearly correlated with actual surface area than SALT-I. Planimetric surface area measurement could be used as a supplementary method especially in the S1 to S3, suggesting 60 cm

SALT score was measured twice in each patient based on "initial" inspection in the clinic (SALT-I) and retrospective assessment of the "photograph" (SALT-P). Planimetric surface area was calculated by Image J program. Subgroup analysis was performed depending on the agreement between SALT-I and -P; score was described in the order of SALT-I and SALT-P.

SALT-P was more clearly correlated with actual surface area than SALT-I. Planimetric surface area measurement could be used as a supplementary method especially in the S1 to S3, suggesting 60 cm
