Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

• The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
• In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide
• The incidence of new cases of H.pylori infection each year ranges from 3 to 10% of the population in developing countries
• The incidence of new cases of H.pylori infection each year is 0.5 percent in developed countries

• It has been observed that with advancing age, the incidence of H.pylori infection is increased.

Prevalence

• Acute Gastritis
• The prevalence of eosinophilic gastritis is approximately 6.3 per 100,000 individuals worldwide

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

• 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

• Acute Gastritis is observed in all age groups.
• 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

• In Acute Gastritis, women are usually more affected than men.

• [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

• [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].

Developed Countries

• The incidence of new cases of H.pylori infection each year is 0.5 percent in developed countries

Developing Countries

• In the developing countries, the prevalence of H. pylori infection is observed to be on a higher side when compared to developed nations
• The incidence of new cases of H.pylori infection each year ranges from 3 to 10% of the population in developing countries
