Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence of Mallory-Weiss syndrome in patients with Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is from 8% to 15%.[1][2][3]
The incidence of Mallory-Weiss syndrome in patients without Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is not well known.[4]
Age
Mallory-Weiss syndrome is suggested to be associated with increased age.[5] However, most tears happen in patients younger than 40, which suggests that age doesn't have a major role. Mallory-Weiss syndrome was also reported in infants. [6]
Sex
Mallory-Weiss syndrome occurs equally in both sexes.
