What number is in the denominator Per 100 marriages
for the RATE of divorce?
What number is in the denominator Per 1000 live births
for the RATE of infant mortality?
What is the typical RATE given in Per 100,000.
epidemiology for most cases?
What are most disease rates in the US Less than 50 per 100,000.... Almost ALL are below
for most all diseases? 100 per 100,000
What is an INCIDENCE rate? The rate of NEW cases in a population divided by
people at risk to be a case
What is a PREVALENCE rate? The rate of ALL cases in a population divided by
people at risk to be a case.
How do you remember was an IN-cidence is the rate of new IN-coming cases
incidence rate is?
, What type of rates should be Attack rate---you shrink the denominator as per the
associated with Incidence? exposure.
Create a difference 'attack rate' for every food that
was eaten in a restaurant, saw, and the one with the
highest rate is the culprit. (Acute conditions)
What two prevalences are Point and Period prevalence
associated with prevalence rate?
What is point prevalence? A particular INSTANCE in time....Who has the
disease over who is at risk.
What is period prevalence? Period is for a larger period of time, who has it over
this period over who is at risk
Mortality data is by definition what Incidence data....the number of newly dead
type of date?
What is the general relationship Prevalence = incidence x duration....
between prevalence and incidence? If either incidence or duration increase, so does
prevalence.
What is a CRUDE rate? A rate that is generalized to an entire population, ie
death rate in the US in 2000
What is a SPECIFIC rate? One that has been modified to have some sort of
qualifier, ie male death rate in 2000... This is GENDER
SPECIFIC
What is a CASE fatality rate? The number of deaths from a specific cause (heart
disease) divided by the number of patients with that
disease.
