Overview
Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment. The incidence and prevalence of ileus varies with the type of surgery performed. Patients with large incisions are relatively at a higher risk of developing ileus as compared to patients undergoing minor surgical procedures with small incisions. The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing laparotomy is approximately 9000 per 100,000 cases worldwide. The prevalence of ileus is not precisely known however, it is estimated that that around 10 percent of the people undergoing surgical procedures develop ileus lasting more than a single day. Patients of all age groups may develop ileus. There is no racial predilection for ileus and both men and women are affected equally.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment.[1][2][3]
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing laparotomy is approximately 9000 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing thoracic procedures is approximately 1400 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing orthopaedic procedures is approximately 1500 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
Prevalence
Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment. Ileus is a very common complication in the postoperative setting and often considered a normal sequelae of surgery.[2][1]
- It is estimated that that around 10 percent of the people undergoing surgical procedures develop ileus lasting more than a single day.
- In United states, approximately 2.7 million of patients developed postoperative ileus lasting more than 1 day.
Age
Patients of all age groups may develop ileus.
Race
There is no racial predilection to ileus.
Gender
Ileus has no gender predilection and affects men and women equally.
