About statistics:

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