| MS glossary |
Incidence
The number of new cases of a disease in a specified population over a defined period of time. The incidence of MS in the United States is approximately 10,000 newly-diagnosed people per year. Incontinence Also called spontaneous voiding; the inability to control passage of urine or bowel movements. Indwelling catheter A type of catheter (see Catheter) that remains in the bladder on a temporary or permanent basis. It is used only when intermittent catheterization is not possible or is medically contraindicated. The most common type of indwelling catheter is a Foley catheter, which consists of a flexible rubber tube that is inserted in the bladder to allow the urine to flow into an external drainage bag. A small balloon, inflated after insertion, holds the Foley catheter in place.

Incidence rates (Safety and Health)
Represent the number of injuries and/or illnesses per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as: (N/EH) X 200,000 where: N = number of injuries and/or illnesses; EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; 200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
