Prevalence-incidence bias occurs:
a |
The exposure is associated with a decrease in both the incidence and prevalence of disease |
b |
Most commonly in cross-sectional studies |
c |
The outcome has an influence on the duration of disease |
d |
The disease has long duration (this is wrong, dont choose it) |
Answer: ( B) Most commonly in cross sectional studies.
Prevalence incidence bias occurs when excluding the people who are dead due to diseases and excluding those who have recovered from the disease. It can occur in cross sectional studies. To avoid the prevalence incidence bias, incident cases should be used rather than prevalent cases.

Which of the following is true regarding cross-sectional studies? a Cross-sectional studies can only be descriptive and cannot be used to test a hypothesis since information on the exposure and disease are collected simultaneousl b Cross-sectional studies can provide an estimate of incidence when they are conducted on a national level and are representative of current demographic groups. c Cross-sectional studies are superior to experimental studies because they are more representative of the population d None of the above statements...

1) True or False? When a new prevention measure for a disease is developed, both the incidence and prevalence of the disease will decrease over the long term. 2) In 2015, a diagnostic code for Asperger’s disease was added to the ICD-10 (a cookbook for medical disease). Prior to 2010, there was no code to assign for the condition and thus, clinicians were inaccurately diagnosing Asperger’s disease cases with “unspecified autism”. To individuals not aware of this coding scheme, it...
