aFitzpatrick skin types I to III were characterized as fairer skin types, and types IV to VI as darker skin types.
bPatients with 0% affected body surface area (BSA) (n = 87) were excluded from analysis. The mean (SD) VIPs score for Africa and the Middle East was 30.2 (16.0) (P < .001 vs Europe and Canada); for Asia, 28.3 (16.1) (P < .01 vs Europe and Canada); for Brazil, 29.7 (17.1) (P < .001 vs Europe and Canada); and for the US, 29.4 (12.8) (P < .001 vs Europe and Canada). The mean (SD) VIPs score for affected BSA was 24.1 (13.9) for 1% to 5% (P < .001 vs <1% BSA) and 32.6 (14.2) for more than 5% (P < .001 vs 1%-5% BSA and <1% BSA). The mean (SD) VIPs score for Fitzpatrick skin type IV to VI was 31.2 (15.6) (P < .001 vs Fitzpatrick skin types I to III). The mean (SD) VIPs score for facial lesions (yes) was 30.0 (14.9) (P < .001 vs no facial lesions); for hand lesions (yes), 29.2 (15.2) (P < .001 vs no hand lesions); and for facial or hand lesions (yes), 28.2 (15.3) (P < .001 vs no facial or hand lesions).
