Overview
Worldwide, the prevalence of mastitis ranges from a low of 1000 per 100,000 persons to a high of 10000 per 100,000 persons with an average prevalence of 4700 per 100,000 persons.[1] Worldwide, the incidence of Puerperal mastitis ranges from a low of 2900 per 100,000 persons to a high of 9500 per 100,000 persons with an average incidence of 6200 per 100,000 delieveries within the first seven weeks after delivery.[2] [3] [4]. Out of this, the incidence of those with mastitis needing hospitalization is 93 per 100,000 persons.[5]. The percentage of those with mastitis who develop breast abscess varies from 3% to 11%.[6] Mastitis commonly affects breastfeeding mothers between the ages of 21 to 35 with the highest occurrence between 30 to 34 years even when parity and full-time employment are controlled.[7] However, there is no difference between mastitis and breast abscess groups regarding age.[8] Women are more commonly affected with mastitis than men. There is no racial predilection to mastitis. Georgraphically the incidence of mastitis is higher in developing countries. [7]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
Worldwide, the prevalence of mastitis ranges from a low of 1000 per 100,000 persons to a high of 10000 per 100,000 persons with an average prevalence of 4700 per 100,000 persons.[1]
Incidence
Worldwide, the incidence of Puerperal mastitis ranges from a low of 2900 per 100,000 persons to a high of 9500 per 100,000 persons with an average incidence of 6200 per 100,000 deliveries within the first seven weeks after delivery but most common during the second and third weeks.[2] [3] [4]. Out of this, the incidence of those with mastitis needing hospitalization is 93 per 100,000 persons.[5]. The percentage of those with mastitis who develop breast abscess varies from 3% to 11%.[6]
Age
Mastitis commonly affects breastfeeding mothers between the ages of 21 to 35 with the highest occurrence between 30 to 34 years even when parity and full-time employment are controlled.[7]
However, there is no difference between mastitis and breast abscess groups regarding age.[8]
Gender
Women are more commonly affected with mastitis than men.
Race
There is no racial predilection to mastitis.
Developed/Developing countries
Georgraphically the incidence of mastitis is higher in developing countries. [7]
