What is the electronic Physician Global Assessment for Acne?

 

The Physician Global Assessment (PGA) is a 5- or sometimes 6-point scoring system used to assess the severity of Acne. The terms physician or investigator global assessment (IGA) may be used interchangeably. PGA is used as a global static assessment of all lesions and gives a general impression of the disease severity or improvement of acne over time. The PGA was originally developed to assess the disease severity within clinical trials and is one of the standard parameters collected to assess the treatment success. In recent time, PGA is more commonly used in clinical practice as one of several parameters to guide treatment decisions for physicians and document the impact of the clinical treatment over time. 

How to use the PGA for Acne?

 

The PGA should only be used by trained physicians. PGA for acne is measured by the number and severity of skin impurities (incl. comedones, papules and pustules) and ranges from clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), to severe (4). Each severity grade is distinctly defined by a relevant morphologic description to ensure comparability of PGA scores between health care providers and over time.
