Available epidemiological evidence provides limited incidence and prevalence data, especially at the genetic subtype level, preventing a realistic estimation of the true social burden of the disease. The objectives of this study were to (1) review the literature on epidemiology of HSPs; and (2) develop an epidemiological model of the prevalence of HSP, focusing on four common HSP genetic subtypes at the country and region-level.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A model was constructed estimating the incidence at birth, survival, and prevalence of four genetic subtypes of HSP based on the most appropriate published literature. The key model parameters were assessed by HSP clinical experts, who provided feedback\u00a0on the validity of assumptions. A model was then finalized and validated through comparison of outputs against available evidence. The global, regional, and national prevalence and patient pool were calculated per geographic region and per genetic subtype.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The HSP global prevalence was estimated to be 3.6 per 100,000 for all HSP forms, whilst the estimated global prevalence per genetic subtype was 0.90 (SPG4), 0.22 (SPG7), 0.34 (SPG11), and 0.13 (SPG15), respectively. This equates to an estimated 3365 (SPG4) and 872 (SPG11) symptomatic patients, respectively, in the USA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first epidemiological model of HSP prevalence at the genetic subtype-level reported at multiple geographic levels.
