Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy is unknown.
  • The prevalence of subclinical hepatic encephalopathy estimated to be 62,000 cases per 100,000 in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.[1]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

The survival probability of hepatic encephalopathy is approximately 42% at 1 year and 23% at 3 years in follow-up.[2]

Age

  • The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy increases with aging.

Gender

  • Men are more commonly affected by hepatic encephalopathy than women.

Region

Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis which are the main causes of hepatic encephalopathy, affect more than 5.5 million people in the United States and hundreds of millions all over the world.[3]
