Koo M, et al. - Researchers gauged the incidence of vestibular schwannoma in Taiwan using data from a population-based health claim database. They identified the patients aged 20 years and over with incident cases of vestibular schwannoma between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2012. Findings suggested the average annual incidence rate of vestibular schwannoma to be 2.66 per 100,000 persons; based on data from the NHIRD in Taiwan for the years 2001 to 2012. In the age group of 60 to 69 years, researchers observed the highest incidence rate of 4.86 per 100,000 persons.
