Article Synopsis
- * Out of 122 patients, 45.1% reported subjective improvements in hair density at the frontotemporal hairline, with varying degrees of improvement noted.
- * While 57.4% of patients saw overall hair density improvements, 33.6% experienced adverse effects, primarily hypertrichosis; however, the findings suggest that oral minoxidil can enhance hair and eyebrow growth in FFA patients.

Importance: Current measures of alopecia areata (AA) severity, such as the Severity of Alopecia Tool score, do not adequately capture overall disease impact.
Objective: To explore factors associated with AA severity beyond scalp hair loss, and to support the development of the Alopecia Areata Severity and Morbidity Index (ASAMI).
Evidence Review: A total of 74 hair and scalp disorder specialists from multiple continents were invited to participate in an eDelphi project consisting of 3 survey rounds.
Background And Objective: Systemic adverse effects (AE) are a major concern of low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) treatment, especially in patients with arterial hypertension or arrhythmia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of LDOM in patients with hypertension or arrhythmia.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective multicenter study of patients with hypertension or arrhythmia treated with LDOM for any type of alopecia.
