How is the TIS score used clinically?

TIS (0-9) provides a rapid 3-sign assessment useful in primary care and telephone follow-up. Correlates well with SCORAD (r=0.80). Scores: 0-2 mild, 3-5 moderate, 6-9 severe. Less sensitive for long-term monitoring than EASI/SCORAD.

What are the TIS score components?

TIS scores three signs each 0-3: erythema (none/light pink/red/dark red), edema (none/slight palpable/obvious/extreme), and excoriation (none/minor/few visible/extensive). Each rated in representative affected area.

When is TIS preferred over SCORAD?

TIS is preferred for quick primary care assessment, patient self-assessment, and telemedicine. SCORAD and EASI are preferred for clinical trial documentation and biologic prescribing decisions.
