Overview

The incidence and prevalence of short bowel syndrome is difficult to estimate. Data is derived from patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.^[1]
The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

The prevalence of short bowel syndrome is approximately 0.3-0.4 per 100,000 individuals in the USA.^[2]
In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

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].

Patients of all age groups, from neonates to elderly may develop short bowel syndrome.

[Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
