  What SCIO may offer
  To provide a standard, independent guideline for onychomycosis treatment and a reference tool for clinical trials, we have proposed Scoring Clinical Index for Onychomycosis (SCIO).
SCIO is a complex assessment tool for onychomycosis where:
  • Included are key factors, describing the clinical presentation and affecting the outcome for onychomycosis treatment
  • These factors are arranged in a way where each represents its proportional share in outcome
  • Finally, a range of values is provided with each value having its corresponding treatment approach
SCIO pretends to be not only a tool to select the treatment option in onychomycosis but also a reference baseline point in clinical trials. Now comparison groups may be formed on uniform SCIO basis.
