Epidemiology, clinical characteristics, flares and mortality of generalized pustular psoriasis: a nationwide register study in Finland
The epidemiology of GPP in Finland was found to be comparable to previously published estimates and associated with a high disease burden and shorter overall survival. Flares occurred frequently during follow-up and are associated with an increased risk of death. Standardized guidelines are crucial to improve the timely diagnosis and management of the disease.
