Abbreviations: BPDAI, Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index; PCS, pruritus component score; P/C, partial/complete; Q, quartile; TAS, total activity score.
At baseline: never achieved P/C remission, n = 22; achieved P/C remission and relapsed, n = 26; and achieved and maintained P/C remission, n = 32. Data are presented as median (Q1, Q3); nonparametric values calculated using the Kruskal‒Wallis test.
