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