About statistics:

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