Psoriasis and uveitis

[Fred]

South-Korea, I think they have done this research in, has 51 million inhabitants.
We, Netherlands, have 17 million inhabitants and in our country there are about 400.000 people with psoriasis.
Assuming the occurance in both countries is about the same, then 51/17 * 400.000 = 1.200.000,
1.2 million have psoriasis/psa
It is handling about adults… sooo, well perhaps there are 1 million adults.

They succeeded in incorporating 317.940 patients in that study. That is about 1/3 of the sufferers..

I don’t know about you, but that is a stunning number, and in my view hard to believe.
Mostly because I know that in the Netherlands, around 3/4 of the sufferers is simply treated by the GP’s with simple cremes…who often even hardly know that they have Psoriasis until it becomes worse.

I hate maths.
