What was measured

The SALT uses a visual aid showing the division of the scalp hair into 4 areas with the top of the head constituting 40% of total surface, the posterior/back of head 24%, right side and left side of head 18% each. The percentage of hair loss in each area is determined and is multiplied by the percentage of scalp covered by that area. The total sum of the 4 products of each area will give the SALT score, as developed by the National Alopecia Areata Foundation Working Committee. Only terminal hair is included in the SALT; vellus hair or any fine downy hair is not taken into account in the SALT scoring process. The SALT score will range from 0% to 100%, with lower score indicating better health outcomes.

Analysis population: All randomized phase 3 participants who had evaluable data for this outcome measure. A Non-responder Imputation (NRI) was applied for participants with missing data at the timepoint due to discontinuation or other intercurrent events.
