Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
IF the incidence/prevalence of the disease is known:
- The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.
IF the case-fatality rate is also known, you may use either of the following template statements:
- In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate of [number range]%.
- The case-fatality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
IF details about prevalence according to age/race/sex are known:
- Age:
- Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
- The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
- [Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
- Race:
- There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
- [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
- Sex:
- [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
- [Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
IF details about prevalence by region are known:
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
If additional details are known about the patient population in which the disease is typically diagnosed, they may be included here. Supplementary template statements include:
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
- [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
- [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].
