Recurrence and risk factors in cured patients with vitiligo: A real‐life single‐center retrospective study

Background The risk of recurrence after successful repigmentation in vitiligo has attracted attention from both patients and clinicians. Objectives The recurrence rate and risk factors in cured patients with vitiligo were analyzed to improve clinical prevention and treatment. Methods Clinical records of 76 patients with vitiligo who demonstrated at least 80% repigmentation were analyzed retrospectively. Single‐factor analysis of variance and binary logistic regression analysis was employed to screen the risk factors of vitiligo recurrence. Results Among the 76 cured patients, 26 relapsed (total recurrence rate of 34.2%). Among these, 20 relapsed within one year (recurrence rate of 26.3%). Single‐factor analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p
