The accuracy of photographic soft-tissue profile analysis to determine Class II and vertical skeletal relationships in children.

Background: Lateral cephalometric analysis (LCA) is the reference standard for identifying common skeletal relationships in orthodontics, such as Cl II and hyperdivergent skeletal discrepancies, but it entails radiation exposure. Therefore, photographic soft-tissue profile analysis (PSPA) could be a useful alternative for these diagnoses, particularly for paediatric patients. This study aims to estimate the accuracy of PSPA for determining common skeletal discrepancies in children.

Measurement instruments for the core outcome set of congenital melanocytic naevi and an assessment of the measurement properties according to COSMIN: a systematic review.

Background: Congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) can impact on patients' lives due to their appearance and the risk they carry of neurological complications or melanoma development. The development of a core outcome set (COS) will allow standardised reporting and enable comparison of outcomes. This will help to improve guidelines.

Safety and effectiveness of surgical excision of medium, large, and giant congenital melanocytic nevi: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Treatment indications of congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) have shifted from the prevention of malignant transformation more towards the improvement of appearance and psychosocial health. Surgical excision is often preferred, but its safety and effectiveness remain unclear.

Objective: To assess the outcomes of surgical excision of medium-to-giant CMN.

A core outcome set for pressure ulcers: an important step towards standardized outcome reporting of prevention strategies.

Neurological signs, symptoms and MRI abnormalities in patients with congenital melanocytic naevi and evaluation of routine MRI-screening: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: A congenital melanocytic naevus (CMN) is a rare skin condition that can be associated with abnormalities of the central nervous system (CNS). These anomalies can sometimes cause severe complications, and rarely death. Adequate information about aetiology and management is therefore crucial.
