Prevalence and severity estimates, mean (SD) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
National dermatologists (n = 80) | International dermatologists (n = 19) | Combined (n = 99) | Expert elicitation (n = 9) | |
Psoriasis prevalence (most likely) | 3.56% (1.81) | 2.59% (0.82) | 3.37% (1.71) |
Mean: 3.4% (95% confidence interval, 2.2–4.9%) |
Bayes: 3.0% (95% credibility interval, 2.7–3.3%) | ||||
≥ 10% BSA | 24.53% (16.37) | 25.42% (15.06) | 24.71% (16.13) | 21.8% (2.48)* |
