Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of colon polyps is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals in the united states annually.
- The incidence of colon polyps is approximately 200,000 in the united states annually.
- The cumulative incidence of polyps in 3 years after normal flexible sigmoidoscopy is 7%.
- The cumulative incidence of polyps in 3 years after normal colonoscopy is 27%.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of colon polyps is 10% in sigmoidoscopy studies.
- The prevalence of colon polyps is 25% in colonoscopy studies.
- The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
