Incidence and prevalence of Behçet’s disease in Oslo, Norway: a two-decade population-based analysis
BD is a rare disease in Oslo, Norway, with female predominance in Norwegian descendants, but higher prevalence overall in non-Norwegians. The observed increases in incidence and prevalence are likely due to changes in population genetics and introduction of the more sensitive ICBD criteria. Diagnostic delays are common, a significant concern, in Behçet's disease.
