About statistics:

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