About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Transient Ischemic Attack usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Transient Ischemic Attack at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Transient Ischemic Attack refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Transient Ischemic Attack 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.
