Abstract

Koebner phenomenon (KP) is one of the phenomena used to determine dermatologic disorders. The pathogenesis of KP is unclear, and research on KP with characteristics factors on vitiligo and its clinical effect is limited. Therefore this study aimed to determine the relationship of KP with clinical features of vitiligo. This study used cross-sectional design, and 60 subjects with vitiligo as samples. Demographic data and clinical features were obtained from questionnaires. The degree of disease severity was obtained by using a VASI score and to measure the degree of disease activity using a VIDA score. The data were analyzed using Mann Whitney and chi square. The median age of the sample was 47.50 ± 20.75, and the majority of samples were 56.7% male. Vitiligo vulgaris was the majority of clinical type and the proportion of vitiligo with 60% of KP. There was a statistically significant relationship (p<0.001) between KP and the duration of illness, the lesion area of vitiligo, the degree of severity, disease activity and age at the onset. There was a significant association between onset at age with KP with RP 8.85; 95% CI (2.48-31.52); p<0.001. Koebner phenomenon was associated with various clinical factors of vitiligo and can be used to evaluate prognosis of vitiligo.
