Overview

The incidence of adrenal insufficiency is approximately 0.8 new cases per 100,000 individuals per year individuals in the developed world. ^[1]
The incidence of adrenal insufficiency in Europe is approximately 4.4 to 6.2 new cases per 100,000 individuals per year. ^[2]

The prevalence of [[adrenal insufficiency] is approximately 4-11 cases per 100,000 individuals in the developed world. ^[3]

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
