Overview
Tracheitis is a rare disease with incidence of 0.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. It is not associated with mortality now due to understanding of the disease process, immediate intubation of the airway and prompt use of antibiotics. It commonly affects children, median age reported as 5.2 years. Males are reported to have a higher incidence compared to females. There is no regional or racial predilection for the disease till date.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of tracheitis is approximately 0.1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. [1][2]
- In North West of England the incidence was reported 0.09/100,000 children per year.
- In Victoria (Australia) the incidence was reported 0.08/100,000 children per year
- It is an uncommon disease with limited data available for reporting.
Prevalence
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Mortality rate was high when the disease was not well understood. It was reported to be 10% to 40%. [3] Now it is not associated with mortality likely due to the immediate use of antibiotics and mechanical ventilation. [4]
Age
- Tracheitis commonly affects children younger than 10 years of age. The median age at diagnosis is 5.2 years. The peak incidence is between ages of 3 to 8. [5]
Race
- There is no racial predilection to tracheitis.
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected by tracheitis than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.3 to 1. [2]
Region
- Tracheitis is a rare disease. No regional association has been reported
