In developed countries, the annual incidence of<unk>  is 3 to 9 cases per 100,000 persons.<unk>  occurs more often in men than in women. There is an increased incidence of<unk>  in persons 65 years of age and older, which is probably because people in this age group have a larger number of risk factors for<unk> . In recent years, over one-third of<unk>  cases in the United States was healthcare-associated.
