Figure 2A and 2B. Examples of scar 6 months after removal of the CVC. Figure 2A is a scar with VSS score 2. Figure 2B is a scar with VSS score 12.
The VSS assessed by the dermatologist showed a significant lower score in the intervention group (active and placebo) compared with the control group at 12 months (p = 0.0001). Based on the digital photos, the dermatologist found four patients with a hypertrophic scar among the intervention group, distributed on two in the active group and two in the placebo group. Figure 2A and B illustrate examples of the digital photos of the scar 6 months after removal of the CVC.
