Prevalance of Pfeiffer syndrome: 1 per 100,000 people suffer from Pfeiffer syndrome, Genetics Home Reference website
Prevalance Rate: approx 1 in 100,000 or 0.00% or 2,720 people in USA [about data]
This page presents a variety of statistics about Pfeiffer syndrome. The term 'prevalence' of Pfeiffer syndrome usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Pfeiffer syndrome at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Pfeiffer syndrome refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Pfeiffer 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. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
