Methods: Genital warts prevalence estimates were extracted from a daily record of patients examined from 31 October 2011 to 4 May 2012 by 67 physicians in Taiwan. Physicians recorded the total number of patients and genital warts patients seen daily for 2 weeks. These physicians also completed a survey regarding healthcare resource use, treatment, follow-up care, and referral patterns. Patient psychosocial impact was estimated using a self-administered survey. Results: The overall prevalence of genital warts in Taiwan was estimated at 1.1%, with a higher prevalence among men. A total of 146 genital warts case patients were included in the study (76 men, 70 women). Median costs for diagnosis and treatment were US$222 for male and US$351.8 for female patients. Male genital warts subjects reported a negative psychosocial impact on their well-being and health-related quality of life \u2013 psychosocial impact results are reported in the Supplementary Material file. Conclusions: Genital warts prevalence was higher among male patients; female patients incurred higher costs. Among men, genital warts had a negative psychosocial impact on well-being and health-related quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh17013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,2]],"date-time":"2017-10-02T19:37:25Z","timestamp":1506973045000},"page":"485-491","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Estimating the burden of genital warts in Taiwan"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Tsen-Fang","family":"Tsai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ANational Taiwan University Hospital, No. 7, Zhongshan S Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, 100, Taiwan."},{"name":"GCorresponding author.
