Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The precise incidence of toxic megacolon is unknown in general population. The incidence of toxic megacolon in the associated disorders including ulceritive colitis and crohn's disease is:[1][2]
- 1000-2500 in 100,000 cases of the ulcerative colitis
- 4400-6300 in 100,000 cases of the Crohn's disease
Mortality rate
- The mortality rate of toxic megacolon associated with clostridium difficile is approximately %38-%80.[3][4]
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.
- [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
- [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].
Race
- There is no racial predilection described in toxic megacolon.
Gender
- [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.
Region
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
