Methods After training 3 dermatologists evaluated 60 acne patients by GAGS and skin lesion counting respectively in randomized order sequentially, and evaluated again 5 days later. Results The kappa-value of GAGS (consistency) was 0.675 among 3 different dermatologists, and 0.847 for the same desmatologist. The kappa-value among the 3 different dermatologists and the same dermatologist for the total lesion count was 0.426 and 0.413 respectively; for pustule count was 0.446 and 0.407 respectively. The kappa-value of total number of the inflammatory lesion counting was 0.429 for the 3 different dermatologists and the kappa-value was
