Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence of hydrocephalus is approximately 68 per 100,000 individuals in U.S and Canada. The prevalence of hydrocephalus is estimated to be 0.82/1000 cases annually. IF the case-fatality rate is also known, you may use either of the following template statements:
The incidence of hydrocephalus is approximately 68 per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate of 5% in U.S and Canada. The case-fatality rate of hydrocephalus is approximately 5%.
Age: Hydrocephalus commonly affects pre-term individuals. Race: Hydrocephalus usually affects individuals of the Latin American and African race. The individuals in U.S and Canada are less likely to develop hydrocephalus. Sex: Hydrocephalus affects men and women equally. IF details about prevalence by region are known:
The majority of hydrocephalus cases are reported in Africa and Latin America. If additional details are known about the patient population in which the disease is typically diagnosed, they may be included here. Supplementary template statements include:
Hydrocephalus is a rare disease that tends to affect Latin American and African.
