Overview
In the United States, up to one million patients develop parapneumonic effusions annually, and approximately 100,000 patients undergo pleurodesis for recurrent pleural effusions per year.[1] Pleural effusion is reported to have an incidence of 0.32% in a study among the general population in central Bohemia. Congestive heart failure accounts for nearly 50% of cases, with malignancy, pneumonia and pulmonary emboli as the next three leading causes.[2] However, the distribution of causes is largely dependent on the population studied.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence and prevalence
In the United States, up to one million patients develop parapneumonic effusions annually, and approximately 100,000 patients undergo pleurodesis for recurrent pleural effusions per year.[1] Pleural effusion is reported to have an incidence of 0.32% in a study among the general population in central Bohemia. Congestive heart failure accounts for nearly 50% of cases, with malignancy, pneumonia and pulmonary emboli as the next three leading causes.[2] However, the distribution of causes is largely dependent on the population studied.
The incidence of pleural effusion among ICU patients is estimated to be 22.19 +/- 17%.[3]
Tuberculosis is one of the most frequent causes of pleural effusion. Although the incidence has steadily declined in some coluntries (4.8 cases/100,000 population), the prevalence of tuberculous pleural effusion remains steady with respect to the total number of TB cases (14.3%-19.3%).[4]
Age
Tuberculous pleural effusion commonly affects 15-44 years group.[4]
Gender
Males are more commonly affected with tuberculous pleural effusion than female. The male to female ratio is approximately 3:2.[4]
