Abstract

Background Psoriasis is a predictor of morbidity. It is important to determine the extent to which psoriasis remains undiagnosed. Objective To determine the prevalence of psoriasis Methods Cross-sectional study using the National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey 2003–2004. Results The prevalence of diagnosed psoriasis was 3.15% (95% CI 2.18, 4.53), corresponding to 5 million adults. The prevalence of undiagnosed active psoriasis by conservative estimate was 0.4% (95% CI 0.19, 0.82) corresponding to approximately 600,000 US adults. Undiagnosed patients had a trend towards being more likely to be male, non white, less educated and unmarried compared to patients who had received a diagnosis. Limitations The method for determining the presence of psoriasis had limited ability to detect mild disease and only fair inter-rater agreement. Conclusion Over 5 million adults have been diagnosed with psoriasis. A large number have undiagnosed psoriasis and there are important disparities which may be associated with not receiving medical attention.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
