Gender- and residence-specific prevalence rate of acquired cerebellar ataxia and its subtypes

Total (n = 62,583) (prevalence/100,000) CI Male (n = 32,165) Females (n = 30,418) P-value Urban (n = 44,600) Rural (n = 17,983) P-value
Acquired ataxia 17 (27.16), 14.3–40.1 10 (31.1) 7 (23.01) 0.356 12 (26.91) 5 (27.80) 0.418
Vascular ataxia 8 (12.78), 3.93–21.64 4 (12.44) 4 (13.15) 0.606 6 (13.45) 2 (11.12) 0.584
Postencephaltic ataxia 3 (4.79), 0.63–10.22 2 (6.22) 1 (3.29) 0.521 2 (4.48) 1 (5.56) 0.632

Notes: P-value < 0.05 at exact significance (one-sided); Values were given as a number (prevalence was calculated per 100,000); A Monte Carlo confidence level of 95% was used.
