Population-based prevalence of Eosinophilic (Shulman's) Fasciitis: a capture-recapture study

Abstract

Our knowledge of Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), also known as Shulman's syndrome, is limited, and its prevalence has not been estimated so far. We conducted a regional survey which aimed at estimating the prevalence of EF in Alsace, a Region in the North-East of France. We retrospectively collected EF cases from the first of January 1983 to the 30^th of March 2015 among Alsace residents aged >18 years, then performed a capture-recapture analysis with the prevalent cases in 2015.
