In the United States, the annual incidence is 18 cases of<unk>  per 100,000 population, and it accounts for 220,000 hospitalizations in the US. In a European cross-sectional study, incidence of<unk>  increased from 12.4 to 15.9 per 100,000 annually from 1985 to 1995; however, mortality remained stable as a result of better outcomes. Another study showed a lower incidence of 9.8 per 100,000 but a similar worsening trend (increasing from 4.9 in 1963–74) over time. In Western countries, the most common cause is alcohol, accounting for 65 percent of<unk>  cases in the US, 20 percent of cases in Sweden, and 5 percent of those in the United Kingdom. In Eastern countries, gallstones are the most common cause of<unk> . The causes of<unk>  also varies across age groups, with trauma and systemic disease (such as infection) being more common in children. Mumps is a more common cause in adolescents and young adults than in other age groups.
