Statistics by Country for Rheumatic fever
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Rheumatic fever:
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 Rheumatic fever 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 Rheumatic fever 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 Rheumatic fever in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Rheumatic fever: The word 'prevalence' of Rheumatic fever usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Rheumatic fever at any given time (i.e. people with Rheumatic fever). The term 'incidence' of Rheumatic fever means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Rheumatic fever diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Rheumatic fever). 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 Rheumatic fever: 12 per 1000 (NHIS95)
Incidence Rate for Rheumatic fever: approx 1 in 83 or 1.20% or 3.3 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Rheumatic fever to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Rheumatic fever to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Rheumatic fever are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Rheumatic fever in any region:
