[Mortality attributed to hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and geographical variability in Spain (1981-2016)].

CONCLUSIONS: This study has identified some regions with higher risk of death due to HHT in Spain. It is unknown whether these differences are associated with the distribution of types HHT1 and HHT2, and further studies will be necessary to know the determinants of this geographical variability. These findings are useful to complement the information provided by other studies and registries, and for health planning. PMID: 30600115 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
