A prospective analysis was conducted at Oregon Health and Science University, examining patients referred for suspected PG between December 2019 and April 2025. The study utilized the PARACELSUS score as a diagnostic tool, revealing that 24% of patients initially diagnosed with PG-like ulcers were ultimately reclassified as PG, while 3% of those initially diagnosed with PG were found to have alternative diagnoses. The findings emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and the potential for the PARACELSUS score to reduce misdiagnosis rates. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: letter research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Unknown language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
