Overview
Bursitis accounts for 400 visits per 100,000 visits to primary care clinic. The exact prevalence and incidence of bursitis is unknown.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence and Incidence
- The exact incidence and prevalence of bursitis is not known.
- The prevalence and incidence of bursitis may be influenced by the patient’s age gender and occupation.
- The incidence of septic olecranon and prepatellar bursitis is estimated to be 10 to 100 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.[1]
- In sport medicine practice, the incidence of trochanteric bursitis was estimated 560 cases per 100,000 cases.
Age
- Prepatellar bursitis can affect all age groups. However, the incidence of septic bursitis is higher in pediatrics age group (immunocompromised patients).
- Olecranon bursitis affects middle-aged people (between the ages of 30 and 60 years).
- Trochanteric bursitis can affect all age groups. However, the incidence of trochanteric bursitis may be higher in middle-aged to elderly adults.
Gender
- Male are more commonly affected with prepatellar bursitis and septic bursitis than women.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to the bursitis.
