CAN WE PREDICT THE MALE HAIR LOSS?
YES, USE NPRT SYSTEM
Muhammad Ahmad
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Hair Transplant Institute, Pakistan
Background:
Multiple classifications for male pattern baldness arementioned
in the literature. A new system is presented for documenting hair loss. The
main aim of the study was to evaluate the practical application of the Ahmad’s
NPRT system.
Methods:
The study was conducted in a private hair restoration clinic. The
five hundred male patients of all ages were included presenting with varying
degrees of hair loss. The age and family history were noted. The various
points of the new system were noted, i.e., Norwood scale (denoted by ‘N’),
temporal peaks/points (denoted by letter ‘P’ and further subdivided into four
grades from 0 to 3), reverse thinning (denoted by letter ‘R’ and graded from
0 to 3), and overall thinning (denoted by the letter ‘T’ and subdivided from 0
to 3).
Results:
The mean age of the patients was 29.3 years, ranging from 17 years
to 62 years. Type IV with its variants was the most common baldness pattern
found in 29% of the men followed by type III (27.4%). Varying grades of status
of temporal peaks, reverse thinning and overall thinning were noted.
Conclusion:
The new system was found to be helpful in ascertaining the
exact situation of hair loss.
