I am afraid they are not well constructed sentences. You need to rephrase them so that the meaning is clear. As stand, they are not.

Do you mean 'number of patients', Nor Priest? We do not usually use 'statistic' in the singular, even though it can be used so. Perhaps you mean this?—

Statistics on the number of medical marijuana patients for the past 10 years.

Or did you have something else in mind?

Yes, I mean the the number of patient in statistical information.

I think Mister Micawber's sentence is as an exact meaning as I want to say.

Thank you everyone.
