    GlossaryDisease Severity

    extent of a disease's impact on health

    Disease Severity refers to the extent or intensity of a disease's impact on an individual's health. It encompasses various factors such as the progression rate, symptoms' intensity, and the degree of functional impairment. For example, in the context of alopecia, disease severity might be measured by the amount of hair loss and its impact on a person's psychological well-being. Understanding disease severity helps healthcare providers tailor treatment plans and predict outcomes more accurately.
