Abstract

Androgenic alopecia is a type of hair loss condition that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma injection for treating androgenic alopecia. From June 2019 to September 2021, a total of 147 patients with androgenic alopecia were selected and treated by our department. Out of these, 72 patients were assigned to the treatment group and received hair transplantation along with platelet-rich plasma treatment. The remaining 75 cases constituted the control group, receiving only hair transplantation. Clinical data was obtained by reviewing the patients' medical records and case reports. The area of hair loss in the treatment group was significantly smaller than that in the control group. The score of the hair pulling test in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The hair regeneration score in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group. After treatment, the total area of skin lesions in the treatment group was significantly reduced compared to the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Our study indicates that combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma is superior to hair transplantation alone for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. This combination therapy shows promising potential for clinical applications.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 October 2023.
All research outputs
#16,792,739
of 24,699,496 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Dermatology
#323
of 693 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#135,861
of 257,681 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Dermatology
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,699,496 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 693 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 257,681 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
