Overview
The incidence of aortic dissection is approximately 6 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.The incidence of aortic dissection increases with age, with a mean age of 63 years. Men are more commonly affected by aortic dissection than women. However, the prognosis tends to be worse in women due to unusual presentations. There is no racial predilection to aortic dissection. However, non-white race is associated with worse prognosis. The 30-days mortality rate of aortic dissection type A and B is approximately 47% and 13%, respectively.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of aortic dissection is approximately 6 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
Age
Race
- There is no racial predilection to aortic dissection. However, non-white race is associated with worse prognosis.[4]
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected by aortic dissection than women. However, the prognosis tends to be worse in women due to unusual presentations.[2]
Mortality rate
- The 30-days mortality rate of aortic dissection type A and B is approximately 47% and 13% affected individuals, respectively.[1]
