Global Psoriasis Atlas
THE FIRST-EVER GLOBAL DATABASE ON PSORIASIS
Project Description
The Global Psoriasis Atlas (GPA) is a joint project of the ILDS (International League of Dermatological Societies), IFPA (International Federation of Psoriasis Associations ), and IPC (International Psoriasis Council).
The mission of the GPA is to provide the common benchmark on the complete burden of psoriasis in all countries and regions throughout the world. The GPA will leverage existing data from publications and registries; where gaps are identified, additional studies will be commissioned.
The GPA is a long-term project that seeks to drive continuous improvement in the understanding of psoriasis and to uncover how it affects both the individual and society at large. While the first edition of the GPA focuses on the incidence and prevalence of psoriasis, future editions will be expanded to include access to treatment, comorbidities, and cost to society. For more information, visit the GPA website.
