Overview
Epidemiology and Demograhics
Prevalence
- Gastroesophageal varices are present in approximately 50000 per 100,000 patients with cirrhosis, depending upon the clinical stage of the disease[1]
- In patients with compensated cirrhosis, gastroesophageal varices are present in 30000 - 40000 patients per 100,000 patients, whereas they can be present in up to 85000 per 100,000 patients with decompensated cirrhosis[2]
Incidence
- The annual incidence of gastrointestinal varices ranges from a low of 7000 per 100,000 individuals to a high of 8000 per 100,000 individuals
- Progression from small varices to large varices occurs at a rate of 10 - 12 % per annually
