Overview
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 prevalence of acute urticaria is approximately 12-23.5%. Although the real prevalence is estimated to be even more, since mild cases usually don't seek medical attention. [1][2]
- Cholinergic urticaria has a 11.2% prevalence in the age group of 16–35 years.
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 urticaria, nevertheless 20-40 years old patients are the most frequent patients who develop urticaria.[3][4]
- The age of onset is 30 years in delayed‐pressure urticaria.[1]
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
- Females are more commonly affected by urticaria than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[3]
- The female to male ratio is approximately 5 to 1 in aquagenic urticaria.[1][5]
- Interestingly delayed pressure urticaria involves males more than females. male to female ratio is 2 to 1.[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].
