Overview

Bursitis accounts for 400 visits per 100,000 visits to primary care clinics. The exact prevalence and incidence of bursitis are unknown.[1]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence and Incidence

  • The exact incidence and prevalence of bursitis are not known.
  • The incidence of septic olecranon and prepatellar bursitis is estimated to be 10 to 100 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.[1]
  • In sport medicine practice, the incidence of trochanteric bursitis was estimated to be 560 cases per 100,000 cases.[2]

Age

  • Prepatellar bursitis can affect all age groups. However, the incidence of septic bursitis is higher in children, particularly immunocompromised patients.
  • Olecranon bursitis affects middle-aged people (between the ages of 30 and 60 years).
  • Trochanteric bursitis can affect all age groups, though the incidence of trochanteric bursitis may be higher in middle-aged to elderly adults.[3]

Gender

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to bursitis.
