Abstract
A medical "registry" is a systematic collection of information from cases of a particular disease or other health relevant condition. Hospital-based registries primarily address prognosis, whereas population-based registries provide estimates of disease incidence. Opportunities to establish and investigate dermatology hospital- and population-based registries abound.
