Scoring the proliferative activity of haemangioma of infancy: the Haemangioma Activity Score (HAS)

Summary

Background.  Haemangioma of infancy (HOI) is the most frequently occurring benign tumour of infancy. A good, reliable and objective scoring system for haemangioma activity is not yet available.


Aim.  We have developed a simple system called the Haemangioma Activity Score (HAS) for scoring the (disease) proliferative activity of haemangiomas. The current study was undertaken to validate this system.


Methods.  We validated the HAS in a comparative study of photographs taken during consultations from 2000 until 2008 (n = 78). Agreement between three observers was assessed at two different time points (t0 and t1) with ...
