Overview
Incidence of osteomyelitis is approximately 13 per 100,000 in children and approximately 90 per 100,000 in adults. Hematogenous osteomyelitis occurs predominantly in children and elderly patients while osteomyelitis due to contiguous infection is most common in adults. Osteomyelitis is more common in males but equally affects each race. The disease is more common in developing countries.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of pediatric osteomyelitis is approximately 13 per 100,000 individuals.[1]
- The annual incidence in adult osteomyelitis is approximately 90 per 100,000 individuals.[2]
Age
- Osteomyelitis occurs in all patient age groups.
- Hematogenous osteomyelitis occurs predominantly in children and elderly patients.
- The most common form of the disease in adults is osteomyelitis due to contiguous infection, resulting from trauma or surgery.
- Vertebral osteomyelitis typically occurs in patients older than 50 years of age.
Gender
Race
- Osteomyelitis occurs equally among all races.[4]
