Gas Gangrene Incidence: Prevalence and Risk Factors

The incidence of gas gangrene varies depending on the geographic region and the population studied, but it is generally considered to be a rare condition. In the United States, the incidence is estimated to be around 1-2 cases per 100,000 people per year. However, it can be more common in certain settings, such as following traumatic injuries, surgery, or in immunocompromised individuals.
