- Abstract
Dear Editor, Skin conditions represent the fourth cause of nonfatal burden of disease globally.[1] The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBDS) assesses mortality and disability from major diseases in the population and should help prioritize research.[1] The demand for dermatological consultations could also guide research priorities. Acne, psoriasis and dermatitis were the leading causes of disease burden attributable to cutaneous diseases in Spain. Research in psoriasis and dermatitis is proportional to the disease burden and demand for consultations whereas research in NMSC is scarce according to demand for consultations but disproportionate according to disease burden.
