摘要: . Purpose:  To estimate the prevalence and incidence of hospitalized keratoconus (KC) in Denmark. Methods:  Data extracts from National Patient Registry under Board Health (which covers entire Danish population) were analysed. Results:  The KC was estimated at 86 patients per 100 000 residents 1.3 year. Conclusion:  is rather widespread Denmark, with more than 4600 affected individuals.
