Overview

The incidence and prevalence of short bowel syndrome is difficult to estimate. Data is derived from patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.^[1]
The incidence of short bowel syndrome was estimated to be 1-2 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide per year.^[2]
The incidence of short bowel syndrome is approximately 0.07-1.5 per 100,000 individuals in Europe.^[3]

The prevalence of short bowel syndrome is approximately 0.3-0.4 per 100,000 individuals in the USA.^[4]
The prevalence of short bowel syndrome is approximately 0.1-4 per 100,000 individuals in Europe.^[3]

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].

Patients of all age groups, from neonates to elderly may develop short bowel syndrome.

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