Getting my head round the Norwood Scale

[Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRS]

Finally, I wanted to mention that the Norwood scale is also very useful for conducting medical studies and for written communication between physicians in the medical literature. Suppose you wanted to design a study where only men with significant hair loss are going to be considered. You could write in the study design that only men who are Norwood 5 and above would fit the inclusion criteria. So for both written and oral communication, as well as medical research studies, the Norwood scale is a useful tool. I just finished a short ARTAS case and this point came to mind while operating my robot. I hope this information is helpful to you.
