Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is an immune-mediated form of hair loss that can occur at any age, often with a significant mental health burden.
Objectives: We aimed to provide estimates of the lifetime incidence of AA, and the impacts on mental health, healthcare utilization and work-related outcomes, assessing variation across major sociodemographic subgroups.
Methods: AA cases were identified in primary care from the UK population-based Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre database (2009-2018).
Purpose: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory dermatological disease characterised by non-scarring hair loss affecting the scalp and sometimes other hair-bearing sites. This study aimed to elicit health state utility values (HSUVs) from the UK general population for AA using time trade off (TTO) interviews.
Methods: Vignette descriptions of health states defined by the extent of hair loss were developed (as well as one describing caregiver burden).
