June 2024 in “Value in Health Regional Issues” This study analyzed the epidemiology, treatment patterns, and healthcare resource utilization of alopecia areata (AA) patients in Taiwan using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database.

The study identified 1,808 mild/moderate and 452 severe patients, revealing that mild/moderate patients predominantly used topical corticosteroids, while severe patients relied more on systemic therapies and oral glucocorticoids.
