==Overview==
The prevalence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Europe ranges from 23.7 to 160 per million person a year, with higher prevalence rates found in northern European countries such as Norway, southern Sweden, northern Germany and the United Kingdom. The [[incidence]] of the disease is 2.4 cases per million per year, with higher incidences found in Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom.<ref name="pmid24932888">{{cite journal| author=Catanoso M, Macchioni P, Boiardi L, Manenti L, Tumiati B, Cavazza A et al.| title=Epidemiology of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) in Northern Italy: a 15-year population-based study. | journal=Semin Arthritis Rheum | year= 2014 | volume= 44 | issue= 2 | pages= 202-7 | pmid=24932888 | doi=10.1016/j.semarthrit.2014.05.005 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24932888  }} </ref>
The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children ranges form 0.03 to 3.2 per 100,000 per year. The prevalence in the United States is 3 per 100,000 persons. The mean age of diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is 58 years. The disease most commonly presents in patients that are either middle aged or elderly. The mean age of diagnosis in children is between the ages of 4 to 17. Males are more commonly affected with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The overall male to female ratio is approximately 1.2 to 1. In children females are more commonly seen with the disease. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis typically affects Caucasians.

Overview

The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children ranges form 0.03 to 3.2 per 100,000 per year. The prevalence in the United States is 3 per 100,000 persons. The mean age of diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is 58 years. The disease most commonly presents in patients that are either middle aged or elderly. The mean age of diagnosis in children is between the ages of 4 to 17. Males are more commonly affected with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The overall male to female ratio is approximately 1.2 to 1. In children females are more commonly seen with the disease. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis typically affects Caucasians.

Epidemiology

  • The incidence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children ranges form 0.03 to 3.2 per 100,000 per year.[2]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in Europe ranges from 23.7 to 160 per million persons.[1]
  • The prevalence in the United States is 3 per 100,000 persons.[3][4]

Demographics

The rate distribution of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis varies upon age, sex, and race.

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop Granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
  • The mean age of diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is 58 years.
  • The incidence of the disease in female patients is 70 to 79 years of age and in male patients older than 80 years.[1]
  • The disease most commonly presents in patients that are either middle aged or elderly.[5][6][7]
  • The mean age of diagnosis of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis in children is between the ages of 4 to 17. However, the disease is rarely seen in children.[2]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
  • The overall male to female ratio is approximately 1.2 to 1.[1]
  • In children females are more commonly seen with the disease.[8]

Race

  • Granulomatosis with polyangiitis typically affects Caucasians.
  • Other races can be affected, however the rate is lower than that of Caucasians.[1][9]
