June 2026 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” This scoping review analyzed 317 studies involving 194,158 individuals to identify outcome measure instruments (OMIs) used in assessing and treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It found that 12 clinician-reported OMIs were used in 51.7% of studies, with the Hamilton-Norwood and Ludwig scales being the most common for male and female-pattern hair loss, respectively. The Men Hair Growth Questionnaire was the most used patient-reported severity assessment tool in clinical trials. However, patient-reported instruments are underutilized, and there is inconsistency in the application of condition-specific OMIs across AGA trials. The study highlights the need for standardized assessment and psychometric evaluation of existing instruments.
