Overview
- Barrett's esophagus can be seen in younger patients, but is most commonly diagnosed in patients ~ 55 years old.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
- This can be seen on EGD (esophago-gastroduodenoscopy) in ~ 1 % of all patients, but in up to 20 % of those with symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). Although the diagnosis can be presumed during the EGD, it needs to be confirmed by biopsy.
- It is more common in caucasians, than blacks or Asians. The prevalence in hispanic population is unclear, some studies compare it to caucasian prevalence[2] and other studies show a lower prevalence.[3]
- It is an acquired condition, seen in children but rarely in younger than age of five.[4]
- More common in male, with a male to female ratio of 2:1.[5]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- 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.
Prevalence
- 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]%.
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
- The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
- [Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
- [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
- [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].
Race
- There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
- [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
Gender
- [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
- [Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
Region
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
