Overview

In 2012, the incidence of postpartum thyroiditis "PPT" was estimated to be 1600 to 18200 cases per 100,000 women. Incidence of PPT increase in patients with type 1 DM up to 25000 per 100,000 women. In 2012, the prevalence of PPT was estimated to be from 1000 to 20000, with a mean prevalence of 5000 cases per 100,000 women. PPT occurs in women of child bearing age. PPT usually affects individuals of the Mediterranean and Caucasian population race. Mongolian race is usually less affected with PPT. The majority of PPT cases are reported in Europe and Japan.
