Overview

The incidence of respiratory failure is approximately 137.1 per 100,000 individuals in the United States and the mortality rate is approximately 29%-42%. The incidence is higher among patients ≥ 65 years of age and the mortality rate is higher among African-Americans and Hispanics compared to Caucasians. Men and women are equally affected.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Age

  • The incidence of respiratory failure increases with age; the incidence is high among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.[1]

Race

  • Respiratory failure usually has a higher mortality rate in African-Americans and Hispanics compared to Caucasians.[3]

Gender

  • Respiratory failure affects men and women equally.[4]
