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