Incidence statistics for Respiratory failure:

The following statistics relate to the incidence of Respiratory failure:

  • Incidence rate statistics in the USA:
    • Estimated 3.66 postoperative respiratory failures occurred per 1,000 elective surgery discharges (excluding patients with respiratory disease, circulatory disease and obstetric or neonatal conditions) in the US 2000 (National Healthcare Quality Report, AHRQ, DHHS, 2003)
    • Estimated 2.27 postoperative respiratory failures occurred per 1,000 elective surgery discharges (excluding patients with respiratory disease, circulatory disease and obstetric or neonatal conditions) of people aged 0 to 17 in the US 2000 (National Healthcare Quality Report, AHRQ, DHHS, 2003)
    • Estimated 1.41 postoperative respiratory failures occurred per 1,000 elective surgery discharges (excluding patients with respiratory disease, circulatory disease and obstetric or neonatal conditions) of people aged 18 to 44 in the US 2000 (National Healthcare Quality Report, AHRQ, DHHS, 2003)
    • Estimated 2.32 postoperative respiratory failures occurred per 1,000 elective surgery discharges (excluding patients with respiratory disease, circulatory disease and obstetric or neonatal conditions) of people aged 45 to 64 in the US 2000 (National Healthcare Quality Report, AHRQ, DHHS, 2003)

    About prevalence and incidence statistics:

    The term 'prevalence' of Respiratory failure usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Respiratory failure at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Respiratory failure refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Respiratory failure diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
