Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Sheehan's syndrome is difficult to assess.[1]
- It was found to be the 6th most common cause of GH deficiency with an incidence of 3.1% of cases.[2]
- Now-a-days, Sheehan's syndrome is not a common consequence of puerperal hemorrhage due to improved obstetrical care.[3]
Prevalence
- In 2009, the prevalence of Sheehan's syndrome was estimated to be 5.1 per 100,000 women.[4]
Age
- Childbearing age only
Race
- Asian or hispanic ethnicity
Gender
- Females only
Region
- The majority of Sheehan's syndrome cases are reported in developing countries.
Developed Countries
It is less prevalent in developed countries due to better obstetrical care and maternal health awraeness.[3][5]
Developing Countries
It is still one of the most common causes of hypopituitarism in developing countries.[5]
