A risk scoring system for the differentiation between melanoma with regression and regressing nevi

Highlights • The presence of regression represents a confounding factor in the differentiation between melanoma with regression and regressing nevi. • A score system can rapidly calculate a patient’s risk for a given disease, as it is very effective in selecting the significant parameters for discri...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The presence of regression represents a confounding factor in the differentiation between melanoma with regression and regressing nevi. • A score system can rapidly calculate a patient’s risk for a given disease, as it is very effective in selecting the significant parameters for discriminating two clinical conditions. • Score-system-based predictive model is a useful alternative for dermatologists to reach a diagnostic decision quickly and effectively.
