Epidemiology and Demographics

Effort thrombosis seems to be responsible for 1% – 4% of total episodes of venous thrombosis.^[1]
It has been estimated that the yearly incidence of Paget-Schroetter disease (or Effort Thrombosis) is approximately 3000 – 6000 cases yearly.^[2]
A study done in Sweden concluded that the yearly incidence of Paget-Schroetter disease is roughly 2.03 per 100,000 people per year. ^[3]

Paget-Schroetter disease usually involves young individuals and the mean age of onset is the early 30s. ^[4]
