Pulmonary edema epidemiology and demographics

Introduction

Overview

Overview

The prevalence of pulmonary edema was estimated to be 75000-83000 cases per 100,000 individuals among heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Pulmonary edema commonly affects individuals older than 65 years of age. Males are more commonly affected by pulmonary edema than woman.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of neurogenic pulmonary edema is approximately 2000 to 42900 per 100,000 individuals in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.[1][2]
  • The incidence of neurogenic pulmonary edema is approximately 20000 per 100,000 individuals in patients with traumatic brain injury.[3]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of pulmonary edema was estimated to be 75000-83000 cases per 100,000 individuals among heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.[4]

Mortality rate

  • The mortality rate of pulmonary edema is approximately 12000 per 100000 among in-hospital patients.[5]
  • The median time from the pulmonary edema until death is approximately 10 days.
  • Higher in-hospital mortality rate are associated with left ventricular myocardial function.

Age

  • Pulmonary edema commonly affects individuals older than 65 years of age.[5]

Race

  • Blacks have the highest risk for heart failure as underlying cause of pulmonary edema.[6]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected by pulmonary edema than woman.[5]
