Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of reactive arthritis following a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection is approximately 3-27 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- The incidence rate of reactive arthritis varies with the underlying infection.[2]
- The incidence rate of reactive arthritis following Campylobacter infection is 900 per 100,000 cases.
- The incidence rate of reactive arthritis following Salmonella and Shigella infection is 1200 per 100,000 cases.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of reactive arthritis is approximately 30-40 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[3][4][5]
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
