Overview

Most of the esophageal strictures are related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. The overall incidence of esophageal stricture is approximately 11 per 100,000 individuals and the prevalence of esophageal stricture is approximately 70-120 per 100,000 individuals in united states. The incidence of esophageal stricture increases with age. There is no racial predilection to esophageal stricture. The risk of esophageal stricture is higher in men under 60 yr but there is similar incidence in men and women after age 60.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of esophageal stricture is approximately 70-120 per 100,000 individuals in united states. [3]
  • In Hong kong, the prevalence of benign esophageal stricture was estimated to be 80 cases per 100,000 individuals.[4]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Age

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to esophageal stricture. Frequency of esophageal stricture was similar in African Americans and non-Hispanic whites.[5]
