Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence ZD is approximately 2 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1][2][3]
Prevalence
The prevalence of ZD is between 0.01 to 0.11% per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1][2][3]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- Mortality rate is 0.3% for stapled rigid endoscopic procedures.
- Mortality rate for non-stapled rigid endoscopic procedures is 0.2%.
Age
ZD commonly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, especially people in their 7th and 8th decades.[1]
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
Males are more commonly affected by ZD than females. The men to women ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1.[1]
Region
The majority of ZD cases are reported in northern Europe.[1][4]
