Overview
The precise incidence of toxic megacolon is unknown in general population. The incidence of toxic megacolon in the associated disorders including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease is 1000-2500 in 100,000 cases and 4400-6300 in 100,000 cases, respectively. The mortality rate of toxic megacolon associated with Clostridium difficile is approximately 38%-80%.
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 ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and Clostridium difficile is:[1][2][3]
- 1000-2500 in 100,000 cases of the ulcerative colitis
- 4400-6300 in 100,000 cases of the Crohn's disease
- 400-3000 in 100,000 cases of the Clostridium difficile
Mortality rate
- The mortality rate of toxic megacolon associated with clostridium difficile is approximately 38%-80%.[4][5]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop toxic megacolon.[6]
Race
- There is no racial predilection described in toxic megacolon.[7]
Gender
- Toxic megacolon affects men and women equally.
