Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of intussusception is estimated to be 2000 cases in children born in USA in the first year of life.[1]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate[edit | edit source]
- 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[2]
- Intussusception commonly affects children between 6 and 36 months of age.
- 60% of children affected are younger than 1 year of age.[3]
- 80 - 90% of children are less than 2 years old. [4]
- 10% patients are over 5 years old.
- 3-4% patients are over 10 years old.
- 1% patients are younger than 3 months old.
- Intussusception can occur in older patients as well. When it occurs in older patients it is usually due to a lead point.
Race[edit | edit source]
- 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[edit | edit source]
- Males are more commonly affected by Intussusception than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3:2.[5]
Developed Countries[edit | edit source]
Developing Countries[edit | edit source]
In a population-wide survey in Switzerland, the yearly mean incidence of intussusception was 38, 31, and 26 cases per 100,000 live births in the first, second, and third year of life, respectively [6]. After the third year of life, the incidence fell to less than one-half of these rates
