POSAS

The POSAS is a reliable scar assessment scale that measures scar quality in all types of scars from the perspectives of the patient and the clinician... The first version of the POSAS has been introduced in 2004. A year later, after some minor adjustments, the second version followed. This version is available in 24 languages. Currently, the third version of the POSAS has been developed by gaining input from international scar experts (i.e. patients as well as professionals) on its content. The POSAS 3.0 is launched at EBA 2022 and available in 6 languages with many more to come... In 2017, we started the development of the POSAS 3.0. The main reasons for initiating this project was the lack of input by patients and international professionals in the development of the POSAS 2.0.
