The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: Inflammation In Epidermolysis Bullosa Wounds

trum of hyperlinearity scores suggested that clinically distinguishing the presence or absence of palmar hyperlinearity can be challenging, with no clear cutoff observed between groups. Six images were available from previously published studies and, when generated scores were mapped onto our data, the results fit with their previous clinical interpretations. Our study is novel in using computational methods to quantify palmar hyperlinearity and also in reporting the association of palmar hyperlinearity and FLG status in a cohort of 342 participants of Bangladeshi origin. The application of our tool in studies investigating palmar hyperlinearity may serve as a metric for comparison between studies, pending wider external validation, and allow for further investigation of hyperlinearity scores for clinical purposes such as the prediction of AD persistence and food allergy risk.
