Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of scleroderma is approximately 0.23 to 2.28 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- The incidence of scleroderma is approximately 2 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of scleroderma is approximately 5 to 30 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- In 1990, the prevalence of scleroderma was estimated to be 27.6 cases per 100,000 individuals in the united states.[1]
- The prevalence of scleroderma is approximately 24 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[2]
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].
- The standardized mortality ratio of scleroderma is approximately 1.5 to 7.2[3]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
- The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
- [Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
- [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
- [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].
Race
- Choctaw native americans from southeastern Oklahoma were reported to have much higher prevalence of scleroderma than the general population.[4]
- Scleroderma usually affects individuals of the African-American race more than the caucasian race.[5][6]
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by scleroderma than males. The female to male ratio is approximately ranging from 3:1 to 14:1.[6][7]
Region
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
