Abstract
This aim of this study was to develop an objective tool for rating submental fat applied to Koreans. The study was conducted between April 2019 and October 2019. A total of 92 subjects were enrolled in the study. Clinical photos of the subjects were categorized using validated CR-SMFRS by three plastic surgeons and one dermatologist. The categorized photos were then shown to six different plastic surgeons for evaluation. The Cohen's kappa value for the six raters were 0.830, 0.742, 0.703, 0.907, 0.862, and 0.793 with statistical significance (p < 0.001). ICC value was between 0.860 and 0.966 (p < 0.001). Since the Cohen's value and ICC were above 0.6 for all raters, the ratings performed by all six raters were used in the analysis. The ICC values between raters were between 0.899 and 0.902. We came up with a set of reference photos that can be used for submental fat rating scale applicable to Korean subjects. II.
