Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • In 2006, the lifetime prevalence of Anaphylaxis was estimated to be 0.05% to 2% in the United States. However it is believed that this is an underestimation because the disease is underdiagnosed. [1]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop anaphylaxis, however, children and adolescents account for the majority of cases.[3]

Race

Gender

  • Anaphylaxis affects men and women equally with more women being admitted to the hospital for the disease. [1]

Region

Developed Countries

An estimated 1.24% to 16.8% of the United States population is considered at risk for developing anaphylaxis if they are exposed to one or more allergens. Anaphylaxis results in fewer than 1,000 deaths per year in the U.S and the most common presentation is cardiovascular collapse [4] [5]
