Statistics about Deep vein thrombosis
| About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Deep vein thrombosis. The term 'prevalence' of Deep vein thrombosis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Deep vein thrombosis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Deep vein thrombosis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Deep vein thrombosis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
