Jun 1, 2021 · Conclusions: The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale and the Vancouver Scar Scale are the most common scales for assessing burn scars and have similar evaluation points such as vascularization, pliability, pigmentation, and height, which are the main parameters that contribute to the general assessment and severity of a scar. There is a ...
Jan 15, 2009 · In 1990, ‘The Vancouver Burn Scar Assessment Scale’ , described by Sullivan et al., devised the first burn scar assessment scale based on physical parameters to provide a more objective measurement of burn scars. They believed that a reliable, objective, and universal method of assessing burn scar is necessary to provide a descriptive ...

Jun 23, 2021 · The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) has four variables (vascularity, height or thickness, pliability, and pigmentation) forming a numeric score from 0 to 14. - Clinical relevance: While it is now one of more commonly-used assessment tools, it is also the most frequently-modified , making it difficult to assess its validity.
May 1, 2000 · The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was developed to provide a more objective measurement of burn scars; however, the validity (a test's ability to measure the phenomenon for which it was designed) of the VSS has not been tested. To examine the construct validity of the VSS, we compared it with scar volume, which has established face validity.
