ABSTRACT
Objective@#To compare the safety and efficacy of pulsed dye laser (PDL) with different sessios for the East Asian infants with port-wine stains(PWS).@*Methods@#From September 2016 to September 2017, 24 East Asian infants with untreated PWS, who met the standards of enrollment, received seven treatments by PDL at 2-week intervals and three treatments at 6-week intervals at adjacent locations in each patient 2 months after final treatment. The efficacy outcome was compared with Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while the safety was compared using Fisher′s exact test.@*Results@#Of the 24 patients, 20 completed study. Seven patients had multiple sites, given a total of 62 treated PWS sites. Among the patients, 18 had lesions on the face and 2 on the extremities. The average blanching rate was (43.71 ± 27.16) % and (43.29 ± 31.58) % for PDL treatments with 7- and 3- sessions, respectively (P>0.05). The result was consistent with independent observer assessment judging that the result of 7 laser treatments was equally with that of 3 treatments (r=0.416, P=0.0008). The average grade was 3.58 ± 1.21 and 3.53 ± 1.16 for 7- and 3-sessions. The patients treated with 7-sessions developed a little more side effects than 3-sessions, including residue purpura, pigmentation changes, eczema and dermatitis.@*Conclusions@#After three treatments of PDL, the efficacy may not necessarily increased by more frequent treatments for East Asian infantile PWS.
