Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment.[1][2][3]
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing laparotomy is approximately 9000 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing thoracic procedures is approximately 1400 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
- The incidence of ileus in patients undergoing orthopaedic procedures is approximately 1500 per 100,000 cases worldwide.
Prevalence
Ileus is most commonly seen in patients undergoing surgical treatment. Ileus is a very common complication in the postoperative setting and often considered a normal sequelae of surgery.[2][1]
- It is estimated that that around 10 percent of the people undergoing surgical procedures develop ileus lasting more than a single day.
- In United states, approximately 2.7 million of patients developed postoperative ileus lasting more than 1 day.
Age
Patients of all age groups may develop ileus.
Race
There is no racial predilection to ileus.
