Abstract:
Scar is the inevitable result of human wound repair process, which leads to psychological and physical suffering to patients. Children are in the rapid development stage of physical and mental growth with special physiological characteristics. Recently, scar prevalence in children is gradually increasing, accounting for a considerable number of various age scar groups, but the accurate quantitative assessment of scars in children remains immature and incomplete. This article reviews the scar assessment methods including subjective assessment scales and objective assessment tools. There are no scar quantitative assessment tools specially designed for children and no specialized criteria for children scar assessment. Considering unique characters of children scars, more specific studies will be conducted to evaluate scars in children in the future and thus to develop proper assessment tools and models more suitable for children ′s scar.
