Statistics by Country for Shoulder Fracture

Incidence (annual) of Shoulder Fracture:

5,258 annual cases in Victoria 1996 of clavicle/scapula/humerus (DHS-VIC)

Incidence Rate for Shoulder Fracture: approx 1 in 867 or 0.12% or 313,624 people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Shoulder Fracture to Countries and Regions: WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY. NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Shoulder Fracture to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Shoulder Fracture are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Shoulder Fracture in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Shoulder Fracture:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATED STATISTICS ONLY! Not based on data sources from individual countries. These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates against the populations of a particular country or region. The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Shoulder Fracture are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian prevalence or incidence statistics, which are then extrapolated using only the population of the other country. This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Shoulder Fracture statistics below refer to. The extrapolation does not use data sources or statistics about any country other than its population. As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication) as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Shoulder Fracture in that region. These statistics are presented only in the hope that they may be interesting to some people.

About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Shoulder Fracture:

The word 'prevalence' of Shoulder Fracture usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Shoulder Fracture at any given time (i.e. people with Shoulder Fracture). The term 'incidence' of Shoulder Fracture means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Shoulder Fracture diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Shoulder Fracture). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short 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.
