Currently, there are many methods for assessing the severity of acne, however, there is no single generally accepted method of assessment that would satisfy the needs of the practitioner and the specialist researcher.</p> <p><bold>Aims.</bold> The purpose of our study was to compare the two most commonly used methods for assessing the severity of acne — the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) and the Dermatological Acne Index (DIA) in order to select the most appropriate one for use in the daily practice of a dermatologist.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> The study included 64 patients with acne who applied for an appointment with dermatologists at the consultative polyclinic of the Republican Dermovenereological Clinical Hospital for the period March — June 2019. Of these, there were 26 men and 38 women — 40.6% and 59.4%. All patients were assessed for the severity of acne by two methods GAGS and DIA by three researchers — dermatologists.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> In the course of the study, both among men and women, the vast majority of patients with acne were between the ages of 18 and 25 years. When examining patients using the GAGS index, 46.8% of patients were observed with mild severity, 39.1% with moderate and 14.1% with severe acne, with a significant difference only in severe acne between men and women (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0.05). When assessing GAGS, more patients were observed with mild severity, and when assessing DIA, moderate severity. There was a good correlation (0.914) between the scores of the two acne severity scales.</p> <p><bold>Conclusions.</bold> Considering that both methods for assessing the severity of acne showed approximately the same results, the method for assessing acne according to the DIA scale, due to the shorter time spent for its implementation, can be used in the daily practice of a dermatologist.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Учитывая современные стандарты лечения, оценка степени тяжести акне очень важна для практикующего врача-дерматолога. В настоящее время существует множество методов оценки степени тяжести акне, однако нет единого общепринятого метода, который удовлетворял бы потребности практикующего врача и специалиста-исследователя.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования.</bold> Целью нашего исследования было сравнение двух наиболее часто используемых методов оценки степени тяжести акне — Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) и Дерматологического индекса акне (ДИА) для выбора наиболее приемлемого в применении в повседневной практике дерматолога.</p> <p><bold>Методы.</bold> В исследование вошли 64 больных с акне, обратившихся на прием к дерматологам в консультативную поликлинику Республиканской кожно-венерологической клинической больницы за период март — июнь 2019 г. Из них было 26 мужчин и 38 женщин — 40,6, и 59,4% соответственно. Всем пациентам была проведена оценка степени тяжести акне двумя методами GAGS и ДИА тремя исследователями — врачами-дерматологами.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> В ходе исследования выяснилось: как среди мужчин, так и женщин подавляющее число больных с акне было в возрасте от 18 до 25 лет. При обследовании пациентов с помощью индекса GAGS отмечено 46,8% больных с легкой степенью тяжести, 39,1% со средней и 14,1% с тяжелым течением акне, при достоверном различии только при тяжелом течении акне между мужчинами и женщинами (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,05). При оценке GAGS большее число больных определено с легкой степенью тяжести, а при оценке ДИА — со средней степенью тяжести. Наблюдалась хорошая корреляционная связь (0,914) между показателями двух шкал оценки степени тяжести акне.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Учитывая, что оба метода оценки степени тяжести акне показали приблизительно одинаковые результаты, метод оценки акне по шкале ДИА, в силу меньшей затраты времени для его проведения, можно применять в повседневной практике дерматолога.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>аcne</kwd><kwd>severity</kwd><kwd>score</kwd><kwd>DIA</kwd><kwd>GAGS</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>акне</kwd><kwd>степень тяжести</kwd><kwd>оценка</kwd><kwd>ДИА</kwd><kwd>GAGS</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Nast A, Dréno B, Bettoli V, Degitz K, Erdmann R, Finlay AY, et al.
