Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Bell's palsy is approximately 30 per 100,000 individuals.[1]
Prevalence
- The lifetime prevalence of Bell's palsy was 642.8 cases per 100,000 population age 15 years and above in one study.[2]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
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 to [disease name].
