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