Statistics by Country for Childbirth

Incidence (annual) of Childbirth:

4,043,000 annual live births ending Aug 2001 (NVSR 50:7 2002); 4,058,814 annually in 1999 in USA (CDC)

Incidence Rate for Childbirth: approx 1 in 67 or 1.49% or 4 million people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Childbirth 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 Childbirth to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Childbirth are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Childbirth in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Childbirth:

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 Childbirth 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 Childbirth 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 Childbirth 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 Childbirth:

The word 'prevalence' of Childbirth usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Childbirth at any given time (i.e. people with Childbirth). The term 'incidence' of Childbirth means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Childbirth diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Childbirth). 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.
