Overview
The incidence and prevalence of lipoid pneumonia are underestimated. It is mostly because of similarities between pneumonias from different causes and lack of specific marker to distinguish pneumonias from each other. In 2019 there was an outbreak of vaping based pulmonary complications.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In 2019 there was an outbreak of vaping based pulmonary complications.
- the majority of underlying cause of morbidity was lipoid pneumonia.
- The incidence of cases differentiated based on state can be seen on :"Outbreak of Lung Injury Associated with E-Cigarette Use, or Vaping".
- The incidence and prevalence of lipoid pneumonia are underestimated. It is mostly because of similarities between pneumonias from different causes and lack of specific marker to distinguish pneumonia from each other.[1]
- There is no prediction of incidence of lipoid pneumonia but the incidence of aspiration pneumonia is approximately 300,000 to 600,000 individuals annually in the United States.[2]
Prevalence
- There is no study about prevalence of lipoid pneumonia.
Mortality rate
- Prognosis of lipoid pneumonia is usually indolent, however, it may also be progressive.[3]
- lipoid pneumonia is not usually a cause of death, instead the complications such as superinfection, cor pulmonale or lung cancer are mortal.
