What is the prevalence of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura?
How many people does Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
It's a rare disease that I have read affects more women than men.

The incidence was higher among women [4.5 per 100 000 PYs (95% CI: 4.2, 4.9)] than men [3.2 per 100 000 PYs (95% CI: 2.8, 3.5)]. Among both women and men, incidence was higher at older ages and in later study years. In a systematic review of previously published literature, incidence of ITP among adults ranged from 1.6 to 2.68 per 100 000 persons per year; prevalence ranged from 9.5 to 23.6 per 100 000 persons. In order to improve the understanding of the disease burden of ITP, future studies should include a clearly defined definition of ITP and focus on well-described source populations that are geographically and ethnically diverse.
