Overview
The incidence of essential thrombocytosis is approximately 0.6-2.5 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide annually.[1] The prevalence of essential thrombocytosis is about 30 for every 100,000 people worldwide.[2] The incidence of essential thrombocytosis increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 65-70 years. Patients of all age groups may develop essential thrombocytosis. However it commonly affects individuals older than 60 years of age.[3] Females are more commonly affected with essential thrombocytosis than males.[3] The female to male ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[1]
Epidemiology
Incidence
- The annual incidence of essential thrombocytosis is estimated to be 0.6-2.5 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- In reality, the incidence may be much more higher attributing the incidental diagnosis of the condition where many go undiagnosed due to lack of routine medical care.
Prevalence
- Worldwide, the prevalence of essential thrombocytosis is approximately 30 for every 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2].
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop essential thrombocytosis. However it commonly affects individuals older than 60 years of age.[3]
- The median age at onset is 65-70 years.
Gender
- Women in their third decade of life are more commonly affected with essential thrombocytosis than men at same age. The female to male ratio is approximately 2:1.[4]
- Patients who present in the 6th decade of life usually have same incidence in both men and women.
