Statistics by Country for Viral Hepatitis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Viral Hepatitis:
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 Viral Hepatitis 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 Viral Hepatitis 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 Viral Hepatitis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Viral Hepatitis: The word 'prevalence' of Viral Hepatitis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Viral Hepatitis at any given time (i.e. people with Viral Hepatitis). The term 'incidence' of Viral Hepatitis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Viral Hepatitis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Viral Hepatitis). 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 Viral Hepatitis: about 452,000 annual cases based on incidence of HepA, HepB, HepC, and HepD (NIDDK 1990-1992)
Incidence Rate for Viral Hepatitis: approx 1 in 601 or 0.17% or 452,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Viral Hepatitis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Viral Hepatitis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Viral Hepatitis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Viral Hepatitis in any region:
