Overview
The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children ranges form 0.03 to 3.2 per 100,000 per year. The prevalence in the United States is 3 per 100,000 persons.
Epidemiology
Incidence
- The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Europe ranges from 3 to 14.4 per million per year.[1]
- The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children ranges form 0.03 to 3.2 per 100,000 per year.[2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Europe ranges from 23.7 to 160 per million persons.[1]
Demographics
The rate distribution of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis varies upon age, sex, and race.
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop Granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
- The mean age of diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is 58 years.
- The incidence of the disease in female patients is 70 to 79 years of age and in male patients older than 80 years.[1]
- The disease most commonly presents in patients that are either middle aged or elderly.[5][6][7]
- The mean age of diagnosis of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children is between the ages of 4 to 17. However, the disease is rarely seen in children.[2]
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
- The overall male to female ratio is approximately 1.2 to 1.[1]
- In children females are more commonly seen with the disease.[8]
Race
- Granulomatosis with polyangiitis typically affects Caucasians.
- Other races can be affected, however the rate is lower than that of Caucasians.[1][9]
