Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Various studies have found epidemiological data based on time and population as mentioned:[1][2][3][4]
Incidence
- The incidence/prevalence of nephrolithiasis 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.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of nephrolithiasis is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.which every 1 in 11 person in United States has kidney stones.[5]
- In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- According to American Journal of Kidney disease, 2016, 8% of women and 16% of men are developing nephrolithiasis by the age of 70 years.
- According to 2000 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey of the United States there is an annual burden of more than 1,100,000 emergency department visits with a primary diagnosis of renal calculus or colic.[6]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- "There is no independent association of prevalent kidney stone disease with all-cause and CV mortality."[7]
Age
- 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
- Nephrolithiasis usually affects individuals of the white/Caucasian ethnicity.
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected by nephrolithiaisis than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[8]
- The trend keeps on changing , a study in 2010 claims the incidence rate ratio of men to women with urinary tract stones has narrowed from 3.4 to 1.3.[9]
- Females are having increasing incidence rates owing to increase lifestyle disease like obesity.
Region
- The majority of nephrolithiasis cases are reported in southeast belt of the United States.
- The number of cases increase from north to south and from west to east
- The states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee are considered in the “stone belt.”[10]
- The ambient temperature and sunlight levels as risk factors for stones and differences in exposure to temperature and sunlight and beverages are also responsible for geographic variability.[11]
