Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of portal vein thrombosis in cirrhotic patients is unknown.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis is approximately 5000-10,000 per 100,000 in overall cases of portal hypertension in developed counties and 40,000 per 100,000 in developing countries.[1][2]
- The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis is less than 1000 per 100,000 in patients with compensated cirrhosis, but is 8000-25000 per 100,000 in patients who are candidates for liver transplantation.[3][4]
Mortality rate
- The overall mortality rate of portal vein thrombosis is less than 10% except for patients with malignancy or cirrhosis.[1]
- The mortality rate of portal vein thrombosis in patients with malignancy or cirrhosis about 26%.[5]
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].
