Abstract
Background/Aims Behçet’s disease (BD) is a rare multisystem auto-inflammatory disorder. In England the incidence is estimated between 0.38 per 100,000 in the population, however, the actual incidence of BD in U.K. is unknown. The prevalence is estimated to be 14.61 (95% CI 13.35-15.88) per 100 000 population in 2017 but the read codes from the THIN network were not validated, thereby potentially causing an overestimate. The study aims to understand the epidemiology of BD in England using primary and secondary data
