Overview
The incidence of Caplan syndrome is 1 in 100,000 people but it is decreasing due to the reduction of exposure to coal, silica, and asbestos. Silica exposure has the most prevalence of Caplan syndrome.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Caplan syndrome is very rare in the United States. Incidence is currently 1 in 100,000 people but is likely to fall as the coal mining industry declines.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Caplan syndrome is estimated to be very low.[1]
case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Mortality rate in Caplan syndrome is very low except in association with black lung caused by coal worker pneumoconiosis.[2]
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].
