Overview

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is generally documented as etiology of bronchiectasis not only in children or young adults but also in older patients.

It is challenging to demonstrate the prevalence of PCD in diverse population with estimates varying between one in 4000 to one in 40,000.

PCD is linked with the high levels of consanguinity. Clinical suspicion of PCD is high in these communities, chronic cough and nasal symptoms should rise concern for prompt diagnostic testing.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

• The estimated incidence of PCD is approximately 1 per 15,000 births

Prevalence

• PCD is a rare disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1:10,000

• The prevalence of PCD is difficult to determine, primarily because of limitations in diagnostic methods that focus on testing ciliary ultrastructure and function.
• Because of lack of appreciation of the cardinal signs and symptoms of infants, there are fewer than 1,000 patients in the United States with the confirmed diagnosis of PCD.

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

• 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].

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

• 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

• [Disease name] affects men and women equally.
• [Gender 1] are more commonly affected by [disease name] than [gender 2]. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.

Region

• The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].

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