Profile of Variability Among National Dermatologists in the Diagnostic and Management Criteria of Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

The study aimed to achieve a consensus among Costa Rican dermatologists on the diagnostic and treatment criteria for lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, using the Delphi survey method. A total of 37 dermatologists participated, but the results showed significant variability in responses, with only 60% agreement on the questions, which was insufficient to meet the 80% threshold required for consensus by the Delphi method. Consequently, the study concluded that it was not possible to reach a consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions in this initial phase.
