| The incidence and prevalence of aspiration pneumonia are underestimated. It is mostly because of similarities between [[Pneumonia|pneumonias]] from different causes and lack of specific marker to distinguish [[Pneumonia|pneumonias]] from each other. The [[incidence]] of aspiration pneumonia is approximately 300,000 to 600,000 individuals annually in the United States. The [[prevalence]] of aspiration pneumonia is approximately 5,000 to 15,000 per 100,000 individuals admitted in the hospital due to [[Community-acquired pneumonia|community acquired pneumonia]]. The [[mortality rate]] of aspiration pneumonia is approximately 10.6-21%. The [[incidence]] of aspiration pneumonia increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 70-80 years. Males are more commonly affected by aspiration pneumonia than females. There is no racial predilection to aspiration pneumonia. | | The incidence and prevalence of llipoid pneumonia are underestimated.
