I agree with Nancy. It is hard to find any kind of statistics on Graves’ disease.
For example,the range of numbers for prevalence that I have heard of can be quite broad. Just last week I went to a lecture by a thyroid specialist (a reliable resource) and heard 0.5% for Graves’ disease. That number I thought was quite low. Did that number include untreated as well as recognized and treated?
I will have to find out.
But you are looking for something else–the Morbidity (Incidence) and Mortality. I would be glad to receive any information you find on that.
