Only three studies had prevalence estimates of hypophosphatemic rickets. However, most were related to the distribution of mutations in the population with hypophosphatemic rickets diagnosed by clinical and laboratory tests. Eleven original studies were retrieved with information on population frequency measures. The search strategy was performed in 2019 with the population, intervention, control, and outcomes (PICO) methodology, and in the broadest possible way to improve the sensitivity of the search (no limits on the date of publication, any type of original epidemiological study, and any language but whose abstracts were available in Spanish or English). Those studies were retrieved through the systematic literature search and review in the EMBASE, PubMed, Bireme (LILACS, SciELO), and Orphanet databases. Data required to feed the software and adjust the model were obtained from the national population census, vital statistics, administrative records, and prevalences of hypophosphatemic rickets from original international studies and national case reports. The model used to estimate the hypophosphatemic rickets prevalence in Colombia was developed with World Health Organization (WHO)’s statistical software DISMOD II.
