Overview

Epistaxis is a prevalent symptom worldwide. About 60 percent of people experience epistaxis at least once in their lifetime, and about 6 percent of these people seek medical attention. It is more common in children and elderly patients.

Epidemiology and demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of patients with epistaxis, who required inpatient treatment to control bleeding was estimated to be 42 cases per 100,000 for men, 28 cases per 100,000 for women. For men over 85 years, the incidence is 222 per 100,000 in Thuringia, Germany.[1]
  • Only 6-10% of the patients who experience epistaxis seek medical help.[2]

Prevalence

  • About 60 percent of Americans experienced epistaxis at least once, and about 6 percent of people seek medical attention. [4][2]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Age

Race

  • Based on some studies epistaxis is more common in Caucasian compared with African-Americans.[6]
