Statistics by Country for Meningococcal disease
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Meningococcal disease:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Meningococcal disease are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Meningococcal disease statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Meningococcal disease in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Meningococcal disease: The word 'prevalence' of Meningococcal disease usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Meningococcal disease at any given time (i.e. people with Meningococcal disease). The term 'incidence' of Meningococcal disease means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Meningococcal disease diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Meningococcal disease). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short 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. |
Incidence (annual) of Meningococcal disease: 2,501 annual cases notified in USA 1999 (MMWR 1999)
Incidence Rate for Meningococcal disease: approx 1 in 108,756 or 0.00% or 2,500 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Meningococcal disease to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Meningococcal disease to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Meningococcal disease are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Meningococcal disease in any region:
