Global trends in immune mediated inflammatory diseases: Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

The mean US prevalence was higher across age groups compared to the global average, coinciding with an overall trend for higher prevalence of IMIDs in countries of higher SDI. 4 Limitations of our study include a lack of disease severity measures and heterogeneous data collection methods (including data from censuses, population registries, insurance claims, hospital data, demographic surveillance systems, and other information portals), which are balanced by the benefit of estimates that are standardized globally through a Bayesian modeling process.
