Can someone tell me the number of new cases per year(annual incidence) of
Rheumatoid Arthritis in the US and Europe? I prefer the most recent
year possible, but need the incidence for any one year from 2000 or
later. If that is not possible, please let me know what year you are
able to find.

The European nations that I need are UK, Germany, France, Italy,
Spain, and any others you might be able to include.

Hello Rainbow,

Unfortunatley the information provided on the cure research websites
is for prevalence only (the number of people currently managing the
condition). What I need is the number of new cases that are diagnosed
each year.

Thanks for your help,
Jess05

Hello again Jess05,

I found the number of episodes in England for the year 2004-2005  for:

- M05 Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis

- M06 Other rheumatoid arthritis 

Would this data  be of your interest?

Other years are also available.

Thanks, 
Bobbie7

Hi again bobbie7,

The information for England is helpful, but I would like to also get
the information for at least one other European country if at all
possible. Perhaps I should post the questions separately?

Yes, in my opinion it would be better to post each question seperately.
