Fig 1 Median quality of life and LoSCAT component scores in linear morphea participants over time. Paired scores were analyzed over a 3-year follow-up period. CDLQI and DLQI scores significantly improved between the baseline and 3-year follow-up study visits (P < .001 and P = .006, respectively). Activity (measured by mLoSSI and PGA-A) decreased significantly over time (P < .001). LoSDI scores showed a trend to increase; however, this did not reach significance (P = .42). Median PGA-D scores minimally decreased from 30 (IQR 20-50) at baseline to 27 (IQR 20-40) at 3-year follow-up (P < .001). CDLQI, Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index; DLQI, Dermatology Life Quality Index; IQR, interquartile range; LoSDI, Localized Scleroderma Damage Index; mLoSSI, modified Localized Scleroderma Skin Severity Index; PGA-A, Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity; PGA-D, Physician Global Assessment of Disease Damage.

Fig 2 mLoSSI and LoSDI scores in patients with pediatric and adult-onset linear morphea over time. A, Median scores for both groups decreased from baseline to first annual study visit and remained stable. B, LoSDI scores showed a trend to increase over time. LoSDI, Localized Scleroderma Damage Index; mLoSSI, modified Localized Scleroderma Skin Severity Index.
