Overview
The highest proportion of HUS cases (15.3%) occurred among children aged <5 years. HUS affects female more than male and white race more than other races. Mortality is more commonly seen in elderly patients in which disease is less common but more dangerous.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In children less than 5 years of age, the incidence of HUS is approximately 8.5 per 100,000.[1]
Mortality rate
- In 2017, the mortality of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is estimated to approximately 10% .[2]
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
- The incidence of HUS increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is younger than 5 years.[3]
- HUS commonly affects individuals younger than 5 years of age.[3]
Race
- HUS usually affects individuals of the White race (82%).[4]
Gender
- HUS affects female more than male. Approximately 59% of affected individuals are female.[4]
Region
- The majority of [disease name] cases are reported in [geographical region].
- [Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
