Overview

The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is approximately 7.4-18 per 100,000 individuals in males and approximately 1.2-6.0 per 100,000 individuals in females in USA. Patients of all age groups may develop pneumothorax. There is no racial predilection to pneumothorax. Males are more commonly affected by pneumothorax than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The epidemiology and demographics of pneumothorax are as follows:^[1]^[2]

Incidence

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax

The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is approximately 7.4-18 per 100,000 individuals in males in USA.
The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is approximately 1.2-6.0 per 100,000 individuals in females in USA.

Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax

Incidence of males to females ratio is 6.3 to 2.0 per 100,000

Age

Patients of all age groups may develop pneumothorax.

Race

There is no racial predilection to pneumothorax.

Gender

Males are more commonly affected by pneumothorax than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.

 ==Overview==
-Spontaneous pneumothoraces are reported in young people with a tall stature. As men are generally taller than women, there is a preponderance among males. The reason for this association, while unknown, is hypothesized to be the presence of subtle abnormalities in [[connective tissue]]. Some spontaneous pneumothoraces however, are results of "blebs", blister like structures on the surface of the lung, that rupture allowing the escape of air into the pleural cavity.
