Statistics by Country for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:
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 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 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 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 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 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: The word 'prevalence' of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at any given time (i.e. people with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The term 'incidence' of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). 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 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: 2 per 1,000
Incidence Rate for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: approx 1 in 500 or 0.20% or 544,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in any region:
