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