- In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Prevalence
- The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
- 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
- The incidence of acute cholecystitis increases with 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.
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by acute cholecystitis than males. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
Region
- Acute cholecystitis cases are reported worldwide. America and Europe have high rates of gallbladder stones as compared to Asia and Africa.
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.
