About statistics:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Acute myeloid leukemia.
The term 'prevalence' of Acute myeloid leukemia usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Acute myeloid leukemia at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Acute myeloid leukemia refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Acute myeloid leukemia 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.
