Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The Incidence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is about 1 in 125,000-250,000 people each year, in children younger than 10 years, despite the fact that it is a rare disorder.
- Each year, regional medical centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia see three to six instances.
Prevalence
- There is no data on the prevalence of Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The mortality rate of retinoblastoma differs according to the stage of the disease as well as the geographic region.[1]
- In extraocular form of this disorder is reported to be greater than 50%.[2]
- However, tumors involving the optic disc superficially, are associated with 10% mortality rate.[3]
Age
- In youngsters, the usual age of onset is 3 to 7 years.
- Cases have also been reported in children between the ages of 10 and twenty.
- Adults between the ages of 18 and 82 are also affected.[4]
Gender
Race
Region
