Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of tracheitis is approximately 0.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1][2]
- In North West of England the incidence was reported 0.09/100,000 children per year.
- In Victoria (Australia) the incidence was reported 0.08/100,000 children per year
- It is an uncommon disease with limited data available for reporting.
Prevalence
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Mortality rate was high when the disease was not well understood. It was reported to be 10% to 40%.[3] Now it is not associated with mortality likely due to the immediate use of antibiotics and mechanical ventilation.[4]
Age
- Tracheitis commonly affects children younger than 10 years of age. The median age at diagnosis is 5.2 years.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to tracheitis.
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected by tracheitis than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.3 to 1.[2]
Region
- Tracheitis is a rare disease. No regional association has been reported
Developed Countries
Developing Countries
