Epidemiology and Demographics
Post-polio syndrome occurs in approximately 25–50% of people who survive a poliomyelitis infection.[1] On average, it occurs 30–35 years afterwards; however, delays of between 8–71 years have been recorded.[2][3] The disease occurs sooner in persons with more severe initial infection.[3] Other factors that increase the risk of postpolio syndrome include increasing length of time since acute poliovirus infection, presence of permanent residual impairment after recovery from the acute illness,[2][3] and female sex.[4]
Post-polio syndrome is documented to occur in cases of nonparalytic polio (NPP). One review states late-onset weakness and fatigue occurs in 14% to 42% of NPP patients.[5]
