What was measured

Each clinical sign of VLS (loss of elasticity, sclerosis, lichenification, whitening, parchment-like skin, fissures, extent of the disease, erosions, ulcerations, hyperkeratosis, excoriation, telangiectasia) was assessed separately by the investigator, using a 4-point scale (0=not present, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe) for each subject at baseline and follow-ups. For those clinical signs present at baseline (baseline score \>0 on severity scale), an average severity grade was calculated at each endpoint to evaluate overall treatment outcome, as follows: Average severity grade = Sum of all severity grades (0, 1, 2, or 3) for each individual parameter of clinical signs present at baseline for each subject / Number of grades A lower average score means better outcome.

Analysis population: At Baseline, 12 subjects had 96 clinical signs present (score \>0). One subject missed the 12-month follow-up, one subject missed the 3- and 12-month follow-ups and one subject missed the 6-month follow-up. Hence, at 3- and 6-month follow-up visits 11 subjects were assessed (with 89 clinical signs averaged for each visit) and at the 12-month follow-up visit 10 subjects were assessed (with 79 clinical signs averaged).

Groups in this outcome

CO2RE® Treatment

All eligible subjects that underwent up to 5 treatments at 4±1-week intervals to the vulva with a fractional CO2 laser and maintained the protocol regimen. The CO2RE® System: The CO2RE® system is a fractional CO2 laser that is FDA-cleared under a 510(k) K181523 for laser incision, excision, ablation and/or vaporization and of soft tissue in gynecology (GYN).
