Development and Validation Clinician and Patient Reported Photonumeric Scales to Assess Buttocks Cellulite Severity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Clinician Reported Photonumeric Cellulite Severity Scale (CR-PCSS) and Patient Reported PCSS (PR-PCSS) are newly developed tools for assessing cellulite severity.

Objective

To report on the reliability, validity, and ability to detect a change in cellulite severity on the buttocks of adult women with the CR-PCSS and PR-PCSS.

Materials and methods

Content validity of both scales was established through concept elicitation and cognitive interviews. Test-retest reliability was evaluated, and intra-rater (both scales) and inter-rater (CR-PCSS only) reliability were estimated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for agreement and consistency. Ability to detect a change was determined using the Subject-Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) or
