The patients with were grouped by their sex and age. The prevalence and incidence were then calculated relative to all of the members in the JMDC database. The treatment rate was calculated as the ratio of patients receiving retinal photocoagulation or vitrectomy to the total number of patients over the five-year period. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of Coats disease in the JMDC database was 1.7/100,000 with 2.4 males to 0.9 females for the five-year period. The age-adjusted prevalence in children
