I recall that nickels book (english only as far as I know) says
something at least

NIH (USA) clasification:
(page 31)
cat I acute (bacterial)
cat II recurrent infections
cat III chronic non-bacterial (or CPPS)
-> cat IIIa CPPS
-> cat IIIb CPPS (95% of cat III)

Acute Bacterial Prostatits is rare, diagnosis is relatively simple,
treatment is invariably successful. Few patients progress into chronic
prostatitis syndrome.
(Page 57)

not very statistical, but the NIH classifications are a very useful
basis for communication. Maybe there is survey research based on them,
but I have not seen it anywhere.

The Nickel book can be seen for purchase and limited review of some
