The included studies were either population-based or based on health administrative records and covered over 180 million adults across 24 countries.The global prevalence of PsA was estimated at 113 and 109 cases per 100,000 based on population-based studies and health administrative data studies, respectively.Combining both study designs, the global prevalence rates of PsA were 188 cases per 100,000 for Europe, 48 for Asia, 133 for North America, and 17 for South America.
