September 2023 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this study, researchers found that patients with severe alopecia areata show varied regrowth timelines with baricitinib, and those with the most severe cases may still experience delayed but eventual improvement.
In this study, a strong positive correlation was found between clinician-reported and patient-reported measures for assessing eyebrow and eyelash hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, indicating high agreement during treatment with baricitinib over 52 weeks.
