Prevalence and Incidence of Glucagonoma
| About prevalence and incidence statistics: The term 'prevalence' of Glucagonoma usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Glucagonoma at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Glucagonoma refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Glucagonoma 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. |
