Sero-incidence estimates exceeded incidences of culture-confirmed cases reported through routine surveillance by a factor of ~100 to ~2,000, depending on country.
The general pattern worldwide is that in relatively low-incidence countries female exceeds male incidence, but in higher-incidence countries such as Australia, the incidence is either equal, or there is a male preponderance (Coory et al, 2006).
Recent investigations have shown that the incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attacks is exceeding the incidence of coronary heart disease [ 1].
Other studies have found that HMPV incidence can vary from year to year, sometimes rivaling or exceeding RSV incidence (13 , 15).
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) arises from the lining of the uterus and is the most commonly diagnosed invasive gynecologic malignancy, exceeding the incidence of cervical, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancers combined [ 1, 2].
With that adjustment, sero-incidences exceeded the incidences estimated from infection risk in Swedish travellers to the respective countries by a factor of 26 to 227.
The estimation procedure of the hospitalization rates was similar to that of the reporting rates; we assumed that hospitalized persons suffered from a primary pertussis infection and, if the incidence of hospitalizations exceeded the incidence of primary infections, the remainder was assumed to suffer from a recidive infection.
In one study, approaching 10% of the general population exhibited skin reactivity to NMBAs, an incidence that far exceeds the incidence of anaphylaxis on administration of these drugs during anaesthesia [9].
Subsequently, if the incidence of notified cases exceeded the incidence of primary infections, the remainder was assumed to suffer from a recidive infection.
WNND incidence in 2006 equaled or exceeded the incidence rates in both states during the 2002 epidemic.
In the extension phase, the incidence by 12-week intervals did not exceed the incidence in the placebo group during the RCT phase.
