Prevalence, Incidence, and Age at Diagnosis of Boys With Hypospadias: A Nationwide Population-Based Epidemiological Study
Since 1977, the prevalence of diagnosed hypospadias cases significantly increased and peaked around 800 per 100,000 live boys in 2007. The diagnostic age decreased, proximal cases were diagnosed earlier, and there were more surgical admissions than distal cases. A significant proportion were never operated.
