    TLDR Low quality of life and high HSS-29 scores increase risk of losing patients during treatment.
    This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) who had a low quality of life and high Hair-Specific Skindex-29 scores were at a higher risk of being lost to follow-up during treatment. The study suggests that physicians can use the HSS-29 to reduce the risk of loss to follow-up in clinical settings. It is important to consider the QoL of patients with AGA when planning follow-up visits to ensure better adherence to treatment.
