About statistics:

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