Overview
The incidence of Caplan syndrome is 1 in 100,000 people but it is decreasing due to the reduction of exposure to coal, silica, and asbestos. Silica exposure has the most prevalence of Caplan syndrome.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Caplan syndrome is very rare in the United States. Incidence is currently 1 in 100,000 people but is likely to fall as the coal mining industry declines.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Caplan syndrome is estimated to be very low.[1]
case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Mortality rate in Caplan syndrome is very low except in association with black lung caused by coal worker pneumoconiosis.[2]
Age
- Caplan syndrome commonly affects individuals older than 18 years of age as Caplan syndrome is common in miners with exposure to coal, silica, asbestos, and other inhalable organic dust. [3]
Race
- There is no racial predilection to Caplan syndrome.
Gender
- There is no study available on gender.
Region
- The majority of Caplan syndrome cases are reported 0.75% in Japan and 1.5% in the United States.[4]
