The number of Near-Death Experience (NDE) cases reported each year is difficult to quantify accurately. NDEs are subjective experiences that occur in life-threatening situations, such as during cardiac arrest, severe trauma, or surgery. These experiences vary widely, and many individuals do not report them, either due to personal reasons or because they might not remember the experience.

However, some studies suggest that 10% to 20% of people who survive a close brush with death report having an NDE. Since there are millions of people worldwide who experience life-threatening situations annually, this could imply that hundreds of thousands of NDEs occur each year globally.

The actual number is hard to determine due to underreporting, differences in definitions of what constitutes an NDE, and variations in cultural or individual interpretations of these experiences.
