Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Overview
The incidence of acute cholecystitis is approximately 6,300 per 100,000 in individuals under 50 years age and 20,900 per 100,000 in individuals over 50 years age worldwide. The prevalence of acute cholecystitis is approximately 369 per 100,000 individuals in the United states. It is estimated from the population-based statistics, based on a comprehensive survey in the U.S. Acute cholecystitis is comparatively less prevalent in the developing countries. The mortality rate of acute cholecystitis is approximately 0.6%. Acute cholecystitis usually affects individuals of the North American Indian race. Females are more commonly affected by acute cholecystitis than males. Acute cholecystitis cases are reported worldwide. Acute cholecystitis accounts for 700,000 cholecystectomies and costs of ∼$6.5 billion annually only in the United States.
==Epidemiology and Demographics==[1]
Incidence
Prevalence
- It is estimated that 20 to 25 million Americans (10%–15% of the population) have gallstones. However, only 1-4% experience symptomatic gallstone diseases.[2][3][2][2]
- It is estimated that 12% to 13% of patients who have chronic cholecystitis have no demonstrable stones.[2]
Age
- The risk of gallstone diseases increases with age.[4]
- Males are at increased risk compared to females for acalculous cholecystitis following trauma and burns.[5]
Race
- Gallstone diseases usually affects individuals of the North American Indian race. White Americans, Asians, African Americans, and Africans are less likely to develop acute cholecystitis.[3][6]
Gender
Females are more commonly affected by gallstone diseases than males.[3][6]
Region
Gallstone diseases are comparatively less prevalent in the developing countries.[3]
