However, access is limited as JAKis are not currently subsidised on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for this indication. This study aimed to establish expert consensus on criteria for initiating and continuing subsidised JAKi therapy for AA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An eDelphi study was conducted with 26 Australian specialists in hair and scalp disorders, who participated in two online survey rounds.

Experts agreed that JAKis were nearly always the best treatment for cases with \u2265 50% scalp hair loss and usually the best treatment for 21%\u201349% scalp hair loss. The most important additional factors when assessing eligibility for JAKis were refractory disease, rapid progression, psychosocial morbidity, poorly camouflaged hair loss, ophiasis pattern, and impaired quality of life. Treatment failure was defined as &lt; 50% improvement in scalp hair loss after 12\u2009months of therapy. Indicators of remission included achieving SALT 0, regrowth of facial hair, improved DLQI scores, patient satisfaction, negative hair pull test, and reduced psychosocial impairment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This expert consensus provides a framework for determining eligibility for subsidised JAKi therapy in Australian AA patients.
