Global Psoriasis Burden 1990-2021: Evolving Patterns and Socio-Demographic Correlates in the Global Burden of Disease 2021 Update.

ABSTRACT: Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease affecting approximately 43 million individuals worldwide. While previous studies provide certain insights, there remains different conclusions and a lack of a comprehensive analysis regarding the burden of psoriasis. In response to ongoing therapeutic advances and a growing patient population, this study utilizes the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 estimates to characterize the spatiotemporal evolution of the psoriasis burden from 1990 through 2021. By integrating these biological, geographic, and socioeconomic determinants, this study aims to inform more targeted and effective health policy planning. Methods: To track changes over time, the Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) was determined using a linear r
