Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of intussusception is estimated to be 2000 cases in children born in USA in the first year of life.[1]
Case-fatality rate
- A study was done in Spain, over a 12 year period. 94 cases were reviewed with incidence of intussusception, out of which majority were less than 1 year. Due to high rate of misdiagnosis and management, there was a high case fatality rate of 6.4%.[2]
Age[3]
- Intussusception commonly affects children between 6 and 36 months of age.
- 60% of children affected are younger than 1 year of age.[4]
- 80 - 90% of children are less than 2 years old. [5]
- 10% patients are over 5 years old.
- 3-4% patients are over 10 years old.
- 1% patients are younger than 3 months old.
- Intussusception can occur in older patients as well. When it occurs in older patients it is usually due to a lead point.
- Adults can also develop intussusception.
- Child to adult ratio is believed to be more than 20:1.
Race[edit | edit source]
- 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].
Gender[edit | edit source]
- Males are more commonly affected by Intussusception than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3:2.[6]
Developed Countries[edit | edit source]
Developing Countries[edit | edit source]
In a population-wide survey in Switzerland, the yearly mean incidence of intussusception was 38, 31, and 26 cases per 100,000 live births in the first, second, and third year of life, respectively [6]. After the third year of life, the incidence fell to less than one-half of these rates
