Fingerprint verification prediction model in hand dermatitis.

Background: Hand dermatitis associated fingerprint changes is a significant problem and affects fingerprint verification processes. This study was done to develop a clinically useful prediction model for fingerprint verification in patients with hand dermatitis.

Methods: A case-control study involving 100 patients with hand dermatitis.

Fingerprint changes and verification failure among patients with hand dermatitis.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of fingerprint verification failure and to define and quantify the fingerprint changes associated with fingerprint verification failure.

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Referral public dermatology center.

Quality of life and cost of illness in patients with psoriasis in Malaysia: a multicenter study.
