- In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.
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
Race
- Acute cholecystitis usually affects individuals of the North American Indian race. White Americans, Asians, African Americans, and Africans are less likely to develop acute cholecystitis.[1][2]
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by acute cholecystitis than males. The female to male ratio ranges from 10:1 in Pima Indians to 2–3:1 in Europeans women.[1][2]
Region
- Acute cholecystitis cases are reported worldwide. America and Europe have high rates of gallbladder stones as compared to Asia and Africa.[1]
Developed Countries
- Acute cholecystitis accounts for 700,000 cholecystectomies and costs of ∼$6.5 billion annually only in the United States.[1]
- Acute cholecystitis is prevalent in North America with a racial predisposition to the American Indians.
- South American countries have slightly more prevalence than the North America.
- In Europe, Scandinavian countries have the highest prevalence of acute cholecystitis.
- Italy, Austria, England, Germany, and Poland have a higher prevalence among the rest of Europe.
Developing Countries
- Acute cholecystitis is comparatively less prevalent in the developing countries.[1]
- India and Taiwan have a higher prevalence of acute cholecystitis in the developing countries.
