Take A Closer Look

We are not building the PRP Research Cohort from scratch. We already have data. But the data needs to be updated and expanded. Remember — we are reaching out to 2,948 PRP patients

Location: 2,553 respondents

  • USA: 1,485 respondents
  • International: 1,068 respondents

Onset Age: 1,322` respondents

  • Adult Onset PRP: 1,099 (83%)
  • Juvenile Onset PRP: 223 (17%)

Onset Date: 1,477 respondents

Diagnosis Date: 632 respondents

Capturing the Onset Date and the Diagnosis Date allows us to identify when the PRP diagnosis exceeds two months. The Onset to Diagnosis Survey will also identify skin disorders that mimic PRP can contribute to the delay of a proper diagnosis.
