Artificial Intelligence for the Objective Evaluation of Acne Investigator Global Assessment.

Introduction: The evaluation of Acne using ordinal scales reflects the clinical perception of severity but has shown low reproducibility both intra- and inter-rater. In this study, we investigated if Artificial Intelligence trained on images of Acne patients could perform acne grading with high accuracy and reliabilities superior to those of expert physicians.

Methods: 479 patients with acne grading ranging from clear to severe and sampled from three ethnic groups participated in this study.
