Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of HUS is approximately 6 per 100,000 younger than 5 years old.[1]
  • In 2016, the incidence of HUS was estimated to be 2 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2]

Prevalence.

  • The incidence of HUS is approximately 6 per 100,000 younger than 5 years old.[1]
  • The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

  • In 2017, the incidence of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is approximately 10% .[3]
  • The case-fatality mortality rate of HUS is approximately 25%.[4]

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
  • The incidence of HUS increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is younger than 5 years.[2]
  • HUS commonly affects individuals younger 5 older than [number of years] years of age.[2]
  • [Chronic isease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
  • [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
  • [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
