The average annual [[incidence]] of [[ADEM]] is between 0.07 and 0.6 per 1,00,000 individuals per year. It is more common during childhood, with a median age on onset between 5-8 years and a male predominance (1.8:1).

Overview

The average annual incidence of ADEM is between 0.07 and 0.6 per 1,00,000 individuals per year. It is more common during childhood, with a median age on onset between 5-8 years and a male predominance (1.8:1).

Epidemiology and Demographics

Epidemiology

  • Average annual incidence is between 0.07 and 0.6 per 1,00,000 individuals per year[1] [2][3].
  • Population-based studies revealed a slightly lower incidence in the US and UK compared to Asian countries. The incidence of pediatric ADEM varies between 0.47/100000 and 0.64/100000 in the Asian countries [2][3] compared to 0.07/100000 and 0.30/100000 in Europe and San Diego [3][4][5] .
  • The incidence seems to be increasing with the distance from the Equator[6].

Demographics

  • ADEM is more common during childhood with a median age of onset between 5-8 years and a male predominance (1.8:1)[7].
  • The adult age of presentation ranges from 33 to 41 years without any gender preference.
  • No specific ethnic distribution has been described.
