The most common severity assessment score employed by these ML models was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score, followed by body surface area, with 15 and 5 articles, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The small size and heterogeneity of the existing body of literature are the primary limitations of this review. Progress in assessing skin lesion severity through ML in dermatology has advanced, but prospective clinical applications remain limited. ML and AI promise to improve psoriasis management, especially in nonimage-based applications requiring further exploration. Large-scale prospective trials using diverse image datasets are necessary to evaluate and predict the clinical value of these predictive AI models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ced\/llae348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T00:09:42Z","timestamp":1724285382000},"page":"520-528","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Predicting psoriasis severity using machine learning: a\u00a0systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9961-7999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric P","family":"McMullen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto , Toronto, ON ,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2954-0954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yousif A","family":"Al Naser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Radiation Sciences, McMaster University , Hamilton, ON ,","place":["Canada"]},{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Trillium Health Partners , Mississauga, ON ,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahan","family":"Maazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia , Vancouver, BC ,","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajan S","family":"Grewal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Michael G.
