Overview
Acute Pyelonephritis is reported to cause more than 100,000 hospitalisations each year with the number of people acquiring Pyelonephritis being closer to 250,000, yearly. Pyelonephritis is very common, with 120-130 cases annually per 100,000 women and 30-40 cases per 100,000 men.[1][2]
Epidemiology
The epidemiology and demographics demonstrate that: [1][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Incidence
- On yearly basis Pyelonephritis effects 250,000 individuals and is responsible for over a 100,000 hospitalisations.
- Pyelonephritis effects 120-130 cases annually per 100,000 women and 30-40 cases per 100,000 men.
- The incidence of Pyelonephritis in 15-34 year old women is 25 cases per 10,000 women annually.
Prevalance
- Pyelonephritis is not as common as cystitis. The ratio being around 1 is to 28.
Demographics
The Demographics of Pyelonephritis have the following important aspects to keep in consideration:[3][9][5][6][7][8]
Gender
- Pyelonephritis tends to effect women more than men. This can be attributed to various reasons including the higher incidence of UTIs in women due to their shorter and straighter urethra.
- Urinary tract infections are the most frequent bacterial infection in women with at least half the women by age 32 reporting at least one episode.
- Females are more commonly affected with pyelonephritis than males.
Age
- The incidence of pyelonephritis is highest in young women. Infant and old individuals are the other categories more prone to pyelonephritis.
- The incidence of Pyelonephritis in 15-34 year old women is 25 cases per 10,000 women annually.
