Objective.To estimate the incidence and prevalence of systemic sclerosis (SSc) in a large US managed care organization (MCO) database.Methods.Subjects with claims-based evidence of SSc (ICD-9-CM code 710.1x) were identified from a health plan database. Incidence and prevalence for the period 2003–2008 were calculated.Results.The overall age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate (2003–2008) for SSc was 5.6 cases per 100,000 person-years. The annual prevalence of SSc ranged from 13.5 in 2003 to 18.4 (per 100,000) in 2008.Conclusion.This analysis suggests a higher incidence and lower prevalence of SSc in this MCO than those previously reported for the United States.

How People Learn

Medical schooling, at least as structured in the United States and Canada, is commonly assembled intuitively or empirically to meet concrete goals. Despite a long history of scholarship in educational theory to address how people learn, this is rarely examined during medical curriculum design. We provide a historical perspective on educational theory–practice–philosophy and a tool to aid faculty in learning how to identify and use theory–practice–philosophy for the design of curriculum and instruction.
