Abstract

Over the past few decades, a number of scoring instruments have been developed to assess the severity and activity of autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) (Daneshpazhooh et al., 2019; Nili et al., 2020; Nili et al., 2021; Nili et al., 2022). The Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI), developed by the International Pemphigus Definitions Group, is an easy-to-use, quick, and reliable method for determining pemphigus severity. As a reliable and effective tool in clinical trials, PDAI may also have some limitations and might require some revisions to be used on a daily basis. Here, we propose some recommendations to improve the use of PDAI in the clinical setting. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
